Indexing Audit

If Google didn’t index it, it doesn’t exist

Every site has pages Google skipped, and every one of them earns zero traffic. The Indexing Audit checks your URL inventory, built from your sitemaps and CMS, against Google’s own index data, shows what’s in and what’s out, and tells you what to fix first.

How it works

From unknown coverage to a fix-first list

  1. 1

    Connect Search Console

    Perennial reads your property through Google’s own URL Inspection data, the same source of truth Google uses, not a third-party guess.

  2. 2

    Build the URL inventory

    It collects your URLs from sitemaps and your CMS into one saved inventory, so the audit covers the site you actually have, not just the pages you remembered.

  3. 3

    Audit every URL’s status

    Each URL gets its real coverage state: indexed, crawled but not indexed, discovered but never crawled, blocked, or redirected, with the reason Google reports.

  4. 4

    Fix in priority order

    The audit splits results into quick wins (pages that just need an indexing request) and a fix-first list (real problems like noindex tags, bad canonicals, and thin pages), then lets you recheck after you act.

Why it matters

Indexing is the step everyone skips

Teams obsess over rankings while a chunk of their site isn’t even eligible to rank.

See the whole picture at once

Search Console makes you inspect URLs one at a time. The Indexing Audit checks your whole inventory and lays out every status in one sortable list.

Catch silent SEO losses

Pages quietly drop out of the index all the time. If nobody is checking, you find out months later as lost traffic. The audit makes it visible immediately.

Prioritized, not just listed

A “needs request” page and a noindexed money page are very different problems. Results are grouped so you always know what to fix first.

Diagnoses, not just statuses

For each unindexed URL you see why: crawled-not-indexed, canonical pointing elsewhere, robots blocks, redirects, or errors, so the fix is obvious.

Recheck after you fix

Made changes? Re-run the audit on just the problem URLs and watch statuses flip as Google picks up the fixes.

Counts for AI search too

AI answer engines lean on search indexes to find sources. A page Google never indexed is invisible there as well, so coverage is the first GEO problem to solve.

Under the hood

What the audit actually checks

Built directly on Google Search Console’s URL Inspection API, with the workflow Search Console itself doesn’t give you.

Not sure why pages get skipped in the first place? Read why pages aren’t indexed (and how to fix them). And when the diagnosis is thin or decayed content, Content Refresh rewrites those pages so they earn their place in the index.

FAQ

Indexing Audit, answered

How is this different from just using Google Search Console?

It uses the same underlying data, that’s the point. But Search Console’s URL Inspection works one URL at a time, and its coverage report buckets pages without tying them to your actual site inventory. The Indexing Audit inspects your whole URL list in bulk, keeps it saved, shows per-URL reasons, prioritizes fixes, and lets you recheck after changes.

What does “Crawled, currently not indexed” actually mean?

Google fetched the page but decided not to keep it in the index, usually a quality or duplication judgment. The fix is making the page more substantial and distinct, or consolidating it with a stronger page. The audit flags these so you can decide: improve, merge, or prune.

Can it request indexing for pages?

It identifies the pages where a request is the right move (the “needs request” group) and flags them for manual Request Indexing in Search Console, so requests go to pages that deserve them instead of being burned on URLs Google is rejecting for quality reasons.

How many URLs can it audit?

It’s built for full-site inventories: hundreds of URLs are processed in batches with progress you can watch, and the results stay saved so the next audit compares against the last one.

How often should I run an indexing audit?

Monthly for most sites, and immediately after a migration, redesign, or big content push. Publishing new content without checking coverage is how teams end up writing pages nobody can find.
