What Is Google Index?

What is Google Index Status and why does it matter?

Performing a Google Index checker

There are various ways to check your Google Index status. One way is to type in “Google index checker” on the subject line on Google’s search engine and use one of the search engine results for the Google Index Checker.  On searchenginereports.net, for instance, you must scroll down to and click on “Google Index checker”. You can obtain the status of five URLs.  Then, you must type/paste in the URL and click on “check”. The index URL and status will return showing the value range from zero to 100 and as indexed or not indexed, respectively.

Other ways to perform Google Index checker include the following:

• Submit URL to Google search engine– by visiting Google’s site for URL submission on your browser, type in your URL. You will go through the verifying process showing that you are human and not a robot. Then once done, you must click “Add URL”.  Their Webmaster Tools can also be used for submitting your URL.
• Submit the site to search engines– just typing in other search engines, such as Ask, Yahoo, and Bing, will show the results. Since 2010, Bing has powered Yahoo, and Ask only crawls sites now.

What is a good Google Index number?

When you check the status of the Google Index, the higher the values, the better the Google Index number is.  As traffic builds on your site, Google will begin to rank your site. So, you must continue to monitor and work on increasing your index number which will take time.

You can also check a Google crawler test to determine how your site is fairing on Google. You can type “Google crawler test” on the search engines and choose one of the sites to check how Google sees your site.  Google also offers Webmaster tools on this subject matter.
