Indexation Coverage: Crawl, Sitemap, and Search Console in One View

The Indexation page answers a question every SEO team asks: “Which URLs does Google know about, which ones did we crawl, and where are the gaps?” BearAudit merges your latest crawl, discovered sitemaps, and Google Search Console performance into one prioritised list.

Prerequisites

• A completed crawl for the property.
• Search Console connected in Settings (required for traffic-weighted rows and GSC-backed categories).
• Optional but recommended: refreshed sitemaps so sitemap-only URLs are accurate.

If GSC is not linked, you can still compare crawl vs sitemap, but traffic filters and impression data will be limited.

Summary cards

At the top you’ll see counts such as:

• Crawled URLs — Pages BearAudit stored from the last crawl.
• In sitemap — URLs listed in your XML sitemaps.
• With GSC data — URLs that appeared in Search Console for the selected date range.
• With traffic — URLs that received clicks or meaningful impressions in that period.

Use these to judge scale before opening the URL list.

Filters and date range

• From / To — Defaults to roughly the last 28 days ending yesterday. Align this with how you report in GSC.
• Category — Narrow the list:
  • All URLs — Full merged set.
  • With traffic — URLs getting clicks; fix these first when indexation is broken.
  • Crawled, no GSC data — On your site but not seen in GSC; may be new, blocked, or low quality.
  • Crawl only (not in sitemap) — Discovered by crawl but missing from sitemaps; consider adding to sitemap or noindexing intentionally.
  • Sitemap only (not crawled) — Listed in sitemap but not reached by crawl; check robots, redirects, or crawl scope.

Click Refresh after changing dates or category.

Reading each row

Rows combine crawl metadata, sitemap presence, and GSC metrics (clicks, impressions, position where available). Open a URL in the page viewer to inspect verifications, canonical tags, and robots signals.

Common workflows

1. Protect traffic — Filter With traffic, fix non-200s and blocking issues on those URLs first.
2. Close sitemap gaps — Use Crawl only to find important pages missing from XML sitemaps.
3. Clean sitemap noise — Use Sitemap only to remove dead redirects or deprecated URLs from sitemaps.
4. Investigate invisible pages — Crawled, no GSC data often surfaces thin, blocked, or newly launched URLs.
