What is indexation coverage?
Indexation coverage compares crawled URLs, sitemap entries, and Search Console data to find gaps, orphans, and traffic at risk. Learn how BearAudit surfaces it.
Indexation coverage is the overlap (and gaps) between URLs you crawl, URLs you declare in sitemaps, and URLs Google reports in Search Console. Strong coverage means important pages are crawlable, listed, indexed, and receiving impressions—not accidentally excluded or forgotten.
Why it matters
- Crawl-only URLs may be discoverable but not submitted—Google might miss them or deprioritise them.
- Sitemap-only URLs that never crawl may be dead, redirected, or blocked—polluting your sitemap signals.
- Crawled URLs with no GSC data may be too new, thin, blocked by robots, or non-canonical duplicates.
How BearAudit uses it
The Indexation page merges crawl, sitemap, and GSC metrics with filters like With traffic and Crawl only. Use it to prioritise fixes that protect rankings and clean up sitemap noise.
