What Is the Page Indexing Report in Google Search Console?
This is your master view of what Google has and has not indexed. Here is what the Page indexing report shows, how it replaced the old Coverage report, what indexed and not-indexed pages mean, and where excluded and video pages fit.
The Page indexing report shows which pages Google has indexed and which it has not, with reasons. It was previously called the Coverage report, and earlier Index Coverage. Not-indexed pages, once shown as excluded, are often intentional, like duplicates or noindex. It also reports video indexing as a small section. Not every page should be indexed, so a not-indexed count is not automatically bad.
What it shows, and the old Coverage name
The Page indexing report shows which of your pages Google has indexed and which it has not, with reasons for each not-indexed status. It is your master view of indexing; because it explains why pages are or are not in Google, it is the first place to check indexing health, and where you act on statuses like crawled but not indexed. It was previously known as the Coverage report, and earlier as Index Coverage, so older guides may use those names for the same thing. The name changed, the purpose did not; because the labels evolved, it helps to know Coverage and Page indexing refer to the same report.
Indexed or not
With reasons.
Was Coverage
Same report, new name.
Not all is bad
Many exclusions valid.
Excluded and video pages, and whether every page should be indexed
Not-indexed pages, once shown under an excluded label, are pages Google chose not to index, often for valid reasons like duplicates, noindex tags or redirects. Many are intentional; because not every exclusion is a fault, the report separates deliberate cases from real problems, which you then triage with fixing indexing errors. Video indexing is reported within the indexing area, showing whether Google indexed the video on relevant pages. It is a small, specific part; because it only matters for sites with video, most people can treat it as a minor section. Not every page should be indexed; thin, duplicate or utility pages are often better left out, so a not-indexed count is not automatically bad. Quality beats quantity; because some exclusions are correct, focus on important pages that are wrongly missing rather than the total.
Indexing,
read the right way.
We interpret your Page indexing report properly, telling normal exclusions from genuine problems, and make sure the pages that should be in Google actually are.
