What is Indexing?
Your website content will not be availble on Google search right after being published.
Google Search needs to explore your web to find content and add to search results. Google Search works in three stages, and Indexing is one among them :
Crawling: Google downloads text, images, and videos from pages it found on the internet with automated programs called crawlers.
Indexing: Google analyzes the text, images, and video files on the page, and stores the information in the Google index, which is a large database.
Serving search results: When a user searches on Google, Google returns information that's relevant to the user's query.
