Indexing

3 guides in this section.

• How Indexing Monitoring WorksRankato submits your URLs through supported channels and then independently monitors whether Google has actually indexed them — submission and indexing are tracked separately, because they are different things.
• Accepted vs Indexed: What Is the Difference?Accepted means Google received your request. Indexed means Google decided to store the page. Only the second one puts you in search results, and only Google decides it.
• How Backlink Index Monitoring WorksA backlink only carries value if the page containing it is itself indexed. Backlink index monitoring tracks the indexation of your linking pages, separately from your own site's URLs.
