Until it is removed, the page may still show in search results. If you remove the page and serve either a 404 (not found) or 410 (gone) status code, then the page will be removed from the index shortly after the page is re-crawled. If there is a problem with a particular URL and it needs removing from the index, follow the flowchart at the beginning of the article to find the correct removal option, then jump to the appropriate section below. Note that the pages were indexed when we saw them, but that may have changed. Check the date we last saw the page for a query. In Ahrefs, if you find the page in our “Top pages” report or ranking for organic keywords, it usually means we saw it ranking for normal search queries and is a good indication that the page was indexed. These tools tell you if a page is indexed and provide additional information on how Google is treating the page. If you don’t have access to this, simply search Google for the full URL of your page. The better method to check indexation is to use the Index Coverage report in Google Search Console, or the URL Inspection Tool for an individual URL. I’ve seen many cases with domain migrations where people think they made a mistake during the migration because these pages still show for site: searches and end up actively harming their website while trying to “fix” the problem. The reason this is an important distinction is that it can lead SEOs to make mistakes such as actively blocking or removing URLs from the index for the old domain, which prevents consolidation of signals like PageRank. Any regular user queries that lead to pages on moz.com will show moz.com in the SERPs, while site: will show in the search results as shown below. When you ask for a specific site, Google may show a page from that domain with the content, title, and description from another domain. Take for example moz.com which used to be. They may show pages that are known to Google, but that doesn’t mean they’re eligible to show in normal search results without the site: operator.įor example, site: searches can still show pages that redirect or are canonicalized to another page. While site: searches can be useful for identifying the pages or sections of a website that may be problematic if they show in search results, you have to be careful because they aren’t normal queries and won’t actually tell you if a page is indexed. What I typically see SEOs do to check if content is indexed is use a site: search in Google (e.g., site:).
