The Index Coverage Report from Google Search Console is a new report, which was introduced in 2018 to keep web owners updated on any indexing issues. The report provides information on URL's that Google has visited on a website. The report provides information for web masters to identify which of their URL's have been crawled and indexed.

The past few years has seen many SEO experts offering Google with the feedback needed on improvements that could be included. Google recently announced four big changes to the index coverage report, which has been based on what the SEO community suggested. These new changes are positive and focus on data accuracy and interpretation. Any errors have now been relabelled with specific categories, making them easier to understand and repair.

Tony Andrews, the Manager at Genie Crawl, said “The four changes that we are excited to see is the crawl error guesswork is being done away with. This means that when we saw crawl anomaly in the past, we will now be updated with specific issues and resolutions. In addition to this, we will know that Google has indexed a page that is blocked and a new and exciting feature is the indexed without content, which has now been included. This refers to any pages in the Google index where the content could not be read.”

In addition to this, Tony Andrews also said “The reporting on 404 errors will be accurate, which means that as SEO experts, we are able to quickly make necessary changes to improve our clients ranking in SERPs, while ensuring that we can reduce the risk of penalties in the first place. We will have the information that we need at our fingertips. This is going to take any guesswork out of Google's indexing, which will save time in the long run.”
