Diagnose why pages are not being crawled, rendered or indexed by Google and Bing, and fix the earliest broken step first. Covers every Search Console Page indexing status ('Crawled, currently not indexed', 'Discovered, currently not indexed', soft 404, duplicate without user-selected canonical, Google chose different canonical, blocked by robots.txt, excluded by noindex, redirect, 5xx), crawl stats and host status, bot blocking at the CDN or WAF, index bloat and new-page discovery.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Crawlability and Indexation Audit

A page earns traffic only after it passes five gates: Google discovers the URL, crawls it, renders it, indexes it and chooses to show it. Most indexing advice jumps straight to "request indexing" or "add more content". This skill finds the exact gate where each group of URLs fails, proves it with evidence, and fixes the earliest failure first, because a fix at gate four is wasted if gate two is broken.

Work like a senior technical SEO who has to defend every recommendation to an engineering lead: specific, sourced, ranked, and honest about what the data can't show.

## Operating principles
1. **Group before you diagnose.** Never reason from one URL. Group by Search Console reason and by template, then sample.
2. **Earliest gate wins.** Discovery problems come before crawl problems, crawl before render, render before index.
3. **Separate healthy exclusions from real problems.** Redirects, intentional noindex pages and correctly canonicalised alternates are supposed to be excluded. Counting them as errors scares stakeholders for nothing.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add afeezadebayo/technical-seo-skills/crawlability-indexation-audit@sha256:01d26b63d76f556f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
