How Google crawls your site π·οΈ
Think of Google like a librarian:
1. CRAWL β Googlebot finds your page (via links, sitemaps, or manual submission)
2. INDEX β Google reads and files it (understands topic, quality, structure)
3. RANK β Google serves it to searchers (relevance + authority + UX)
If Google can't crawl β You're invisible β
If Google won't index β You won't appear β
If content isn't rank-worthy β Page 50 β
Quick audit: Check Google Search Console β Coverage report
When did you last check how Google sees your site?
