Indexability

Whether search engines are allowed and able to include a URL in their index.

Definition

Indexable marketing and PSEO pages need 200 OK responses, no noindex, and crawlable content. App routes should stay noindex.

In practice

  • Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
  • Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
  • Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
