Explaining the basic components of the Index Coverage report

Updated over 2 months ago

In this article, we’ll explain the components of the Index Coverage report.

The report is broken down into the following:

  1. Segment filter

  2. Download

  3. 90-day chart

  4. Data table filter

  5. Data table

1) Index Coverage Report - Segment Filter

The segment filter utilises web properties to filter your indexing data based on the folder structure.

To use the segment filter, simply click on the component, and you will see a list of web properties with the number of URLs grouped within each web property. The web properties are sorted from largest to smallest.

Select a web property on which you want to segment your indexing data.

When you select a web property, the data in the app will filter to contain URLs within that web property.

This means that the chart, data table and all reports in the app will only contain the URLs within the web property you selected. So, you can focus on analysing and spotting trends in the key areas of the website.

2) Index Coverage Report - Download

The download button allows you to export the data table into a CSV for any report.

3) Index Coverage Report - 90-Day Chart

The 90-day chart shows you the total number of indexed and not indexed pages.

You can use the chart to identify trends for your important pages and different site sections on your website.

The indexed, not indexed, and pending pages can be unselected from the chart. And the chart updates so you can see specific trends for your pages' indexing states.

4) Index Coverage Report -Data table filter

The data table filter can be used to filter the indexing data in the data table.

The data table filter allows you to filter on:

  1. Page URL

  2. Indexing status

  3. Canonical

  4. New Pages Detected

  5. Indexing State Change

When you apply a filter, it updates the data table in the report. You can apply multiple filters to be as specific as you want.

5) Index Coverage Report -Data table

The data table contains all the indexing data for all the inspected pages.

The data table contains the following data:

  • Page URL - The page URL of the inspected page.

  • Indexed - Whether the page was indexed or not indexed.

  • Index Status - The indexing state of a page from the URL inspection API.

  • Last Crawl - The last crawl time metric from the URL inspection API.

  • Canonical - If the Google and user selected canonical match or do not match.
