Check which pages Google has indexed
If Google can't find a page, nobody can. Let's make sure it's found. A short narrated walkthrough using an example report: Open Site indexing, Scan your pages, See the result, Look at a problem page.

Before you start
- An accessible Search Console property and a public sitemap belonging to that website.
- Separate optional permission is needed if you choose to submit a sitemap through AAA Signal.
Set it up, step by step
- Open Site indexing and check the sitemap address for the selected business.
- Start the scan to discover pages and collect stored Google inspections. Read the displayed collection limits and progress.
- Pause if needed; checked results are saved. Resume saved work rather than restarting every time.
- Filter pages by status and open an important page for inspection. Submit the sitemap only after checking it and confirming the separate submission prompt.
In the dashboard menu: Advanced tools → Site indexing (click Advanced tools to open that section).
How to use it
Prioritise useful public service pages. Private pages, duplicates and redirects may be correctly excluded.
Use Google Search Console’s Test live URL and Request indexing for individual pages when appropriate. AAA Signal does not perform that manual request for you.
After a scan, the Overview’s “Pages Google has indexed” card and the Index status chart at the top of Site indexing show the indexed share at a glance.
What the results mean
Discovered does not mean indexed; Google’s stored result can lag behind a website change.
Scans and inspections use Google API quotas. The manual Request indexing limit in Search Console is a separate limit and does not block visitors joining your site.
If something goes wrong
Quota exceeded
Stop repeated retries. Read whether the error concerns manual indexing requests or an API inspection scan. Resume when access is available; no exact reset time is promised.
No page URLs were found
Check the sitemap actually returns XML, including accessible child sitemaps. Verify the property prefix and any access restrictions.
A page is not indexed
Inspect its canonical, response and indexing directives, then review its usefulness. A sitemap or request cannot guarantee indexing.
Keep going
- Inspect one page: stored Google data and live HTML
- Run single-page and multi-page SEO checks
- Connect Google and choose the right website
