Google responds to crawled but not indexed errors

Remember how it is said Google is investigating complaints of SEOs. The SEO practitioners had found a surge in the crawled, not indexed types of alerts in Google Search Console reports. However, Google suggested that there are various delays in Search Console reporting.

In short, there were several examples of URLs in Google Search Console with the status “Crawled, Not Indexed” and recent crawl dates that were, in reality, indexed URLs. According to Google, the issue is that the coverage report updates at a slower rate than the URL inspection tool. “This is because the Index Coverage report data is refreshed at a different (and slower) rate than the URL Inspection,” Google said.

Google stated that users should put greater faith in the URL inspection tool, writing that “the findings presented in URL Inspection are more current, and should be considered as authoritative when they disagree with the Index Coverage report.” “When the status of a page changes, the data presented in Index Coverage should match the true state of that page within a few days,” Google explained.
