Three months ago, I woke up to a nightmare every SEO consultant dreads.
My client's traffic had dropped 38% overnight. Not gradually. Not slowly. Overnight.
I logged into Google Search Console, hands slightly shaking as I clicked through to the Pages report. And there it was: 47 pages showing "Crawled - currently not indexed."
These weren't random pages. They were money pages. Product pages driving consistent sales. Service pages with strong conversion rates. Blog posts that had taken weeks to research and write.
All invisible to Google.
I've been doing SEO for 8 years. I've fixed indexing issues for over 50 websites. And I'm going to show you exactly how I diagnosed and fixed this problem — with real screenshots described, actual tools, and the step-by-step process that got all 47 pages indexed within 6 weeks.
No fluff. No theory. Just what actually worked.
TL;DR: Quick Summary
If Google crawled but didn't index your page, it's usually a quality issue, not a technical glitch. In this case study, I fixed 47 pages by improving content depth, enhancing internal links, and removing low-value pages — resulting in full recovery within 6 weeks. Traffic increased 44%, and the client saw significant revenue growth within 90 days.
Key takeaways: Focus on content quality first, fix technical issues second, and be patient. Indexing typically takes 2-6 weeks after improvements.
What Crawled – Currently Not Indexed Actually Means (And Why It Matters)
Let me be direct: this isn't a small technical glitch.
When Google shows "Crawled - currently not indexed," it means:
Google found your page. Google read your page. Google decided not to include it in search results.
Here's what's happening behind the scenes:
- Googlebot discovered your URL (through sitemaps, internal links, or external links)
- Googlebot crawled the page (downloaded and analyzed the content)
- Google chose not to add it to the search index (where ranking happens)
Think of it like this: You submitted your resume to a company. They read it. They just decided not to interview you.
This isn't a penalty. It's a selection process. Google has finite resources and must choose which content deserves space in their index. With billions of pages online, they're increasingly selective about what makes the cut.
Why This Status Has Become More Common in 2025-2026
Here's what most SEO guides won't tell you: this problem has exploded since late 2023.
Why?
Google's March 2024 Core Update fundamentally changed how they evaluate content quality. Combined with the flood of AI-generated content online, Google has become significantly more selective about indexing.
According to data from search industry experts, websites are seeing 40-60% more pages with this status compared to two years ago.
Google isn't just looking for "good enough" anymore. They're looking for content that genuinely serves users better than existing alternatives.
How I Diagnosed the Problem: The Forensic Approach
When I saw those 47 pages, I didn't panic. Well, not for long.
I've learned that indexing issues usually fall into one of three categories:
- Discovery problems (Google can't find the pages)
- Crawling problems (Google can't access the pages)
- Quality problems (Google doesn't prioritize indexing the pages)
Here's exactly how I figured out which category we were dealing with.
Step 1: Google Search Console Deep Dive
I opened Google Search Console and navigated to Pages in the left sidebar.
Then scrolled to "Why pages aren't indexed" and clicked on "Crawled - currently not indexed."
This showed me all 47 affected URLs.
Critical insight: The URLs weren't random. They clustered around three content types:
- 18 product pages (older inventory)
- 21 blog posts (published 6-12 months ago)
- 8 category pages (thin content)
That pattern told me something important: this wasn't a technical issue affecting the whole site. It was a quality issue affecting specific page types.
Step 2: The URL Inspection Tool
I selected one URL from each cluster and used GSC's URL Inspection tool.
Here's what I found:
Product Page Example:
- Status: "URL is not on Google"
- Coverage: "Crawled - currently not indexed"
- Last crawl: 3 days ago
- Crawl allowed: Yes
- Indexing allowed: Yes (no noindex tag)
- Sitemap: Listed in sitemap
Everything technically looked fine. No noindex tags. No robots.txt blocks. No server errors.
That's when I knew: Google didn't consider these pages valuable enough for indexing based on their current quality.
Step 3: Manual Quality Assessment
I opened each affected page type and asked myself tough questions:
For product pages:
- Is the description unique, or copied from the manufacturer?
- Does it offer information beyond price and basic specs?
- Would someone actually want to read this, or just buy and leave?
Honest answer: The descriptions were 90% manufacturer copy. Thin. Generic. Boring.
For blog posts:
- Does this say anything new that isn't on 50 other sites?
- Is the information current and accurate?
- Would I personally find this helpful?
Honest answer: Most were outdated. Several contained information that was factually wrong by 2024 standards.
For category pages:
- Is there any unique content, or just product listings?
- Does this help users, or just exist for SEO?
Honest answer: Pure product grids. Zero value-add content.
This hurt to admit. But it was the truth Google was showing me through the "not indexed" status.
The 6-Week Recovery Plan: Exactly What I Did
Once I understood the problem, I created a systematic recovery plan. Here's the exact process.
Week 1: Emergency Triage
I prioritized pages by potential impact.
Priority 1: High-converting product pages (18 pages)
- Pages with strong historical performance
- Pages with branded search traffic potential
- Pages linked from email campaigns
Priority 2: High-traffic blog posts (12 of 21 posts)
- Posts that previously drove 100+ monthly visits
- Posts ranking on page 2-3 for target keywords
- Posts with existing backlinks
Priority 3: Everything else
- Remaining blog posts
- Category pages
- Other thin pages
I decided to focus on Priority 1 and 2 only. Some pages didn't deserve to exist, and that's okay.
Week 2-3: Product Page Overhaul
For each of the 18 priority product pages, I implemented this checklist:
Content Improvements:
✅ Rewrote product descriptions from scratch
- Minimum 500 words (up from 100-150)
- Focused on benefits, not just features
- Added use cases and real-world applications
- Included FAQ sections addressing common questions
✅ Added unique value
- Comparison tables (vs. competing products)
- Video demonstrations (even simple phone videos)
- Customer use case examples
- Installation/setup guides where relevant
✅ Enhanced internal linking
- Added 5-8 contextual internal links per page
- Linked to related products
- Linked to relevant blog content
- Updated existing pages to link to these products
Technical Check:
- Verified no canonical issues (self-referencing canonical tags)
- Confirmed no accidental noindex tags
- Checked page speed (all under 3 seconds)
- Ensured mobile responsiveness
Tools I used:
- Content analysis tools for depth comparison
- Technical crawlers for audit
- Quality checking software
Week 4-5: Blog Content Refresh
For the 12 priority blog posts, I took a different approach.
I didn't just "update" them. I completely rewrote them based on 2025 best practices.
My refresh checklist:
✅ Updated factual accuracy
- Checked every statistic (replaced outdated data)
- Verified tool recommendations (discontinued tools removed)
- Updated screenshots (no 2022 interfaces!)
✅ Expanded depth
- Went from 1,200-word posts to 2,500-3,500 words
- Added personal experience sections
- Included real examples and case studies
- Created comparison tables
✅ Improved readability
- Broke walls of text into short paragraphs
- Added subheadings every 150-200 words
- Included bullet points and numbered lists
- Added relevant images every 300-400 words
✅ Enhanced internal linking
- Added 8-12 contextual internal links per post
- Linked to priority product pages
- Updated older posts to link to these refreshed articles
Critical addition: I added a "Last Updated" badge at the top of each post with the specific date and a one-sentence summary of what changed.
Why? It signals freshness to both users and Google.
Week 6: Technical Optimization & Re-Submission
After content improvements, I focused on technical signals.
Sitemap optimization:
I created a priority sitemap specifically for the 30 updated pages with proper lastmod dates and priority settings.
I submitted this new sitemap to GSC separately from the main sitemap.
URL re-submission:
For each of the 30 priority pages:
- Opened URL Inspection tool in GSC
- Clicked "Request Indexing"
- Tracked submission date in a spreadsheet
Critical note: I did NOT submit all 47 pages. Only the 30 I had substantially improved. The other 17? I either deleted them or merged them into better content.
Special Notes for Blogger Users
If you're running a Blogger site like many of you reading this, the same principles apply but the implementation differs:
Blogger-specific considerations:
Sitemap management:
- Blogger generates sitemaps automatically at
/sitemap.xml - You can't edit them directly, but Google discovers them
- Submit your Blogger sitemap to Search Console manually
Canonical tags:
- Blogger adds canonical tags automatically
- They're usually correct but check via View Source
- Can't be edited without template modification
Noindex control:
- No plugin options like WordPress
- Must use template editing for meta tags
- Label archives can be set to noindex via settings
Page URLs:
- Blogger uses
/p/for static pages /year/month/for posts- Both formats index normally if content quality is good
Internal linking:
- Add manually in post editor
- Use label widgets for related content
- Create a "Related Posts" section in templates
The fundamental fixes remain the same: improve content quality, enhance internal linking, ensure technical correctness. The tools differ, but the principles don't.
The Results: Timeline and Progress
Here's exactly what happened week by week.
Week 1-2: No Movement
Zero changes. All pages still "Crawled - currently not indexed."
This is normal. Google doesn't index immediately after changes. Resource allocation and crawl scheduling take time.
Week 3: First Signs of Life
8 product pages moved to "Discovered - currently not indexed"
This meant Google had noticed the changes but hadn't crawled yet. Progress!
Week 4: Major Breakthrough
14 pages indexed!
The first wave hit:
- 9 product pages
- 5 blog posts
I could find them in Google search using site:domain.com queries.
Traffic started returning. Small increases, but definite movement.
Week 5-6: Momentum Builds
Additional 12 pages indexed
By the end of week 6:
- 26 of 30 priority pages fully indexed (87% success rate)
- 4 pages still in "Crawled - not indexed"
The 4 holdouts? I eventually improved them even more or merged them into other content.
90-Day Traffic Impact
Before improvements:
- Organic traffic: 8,247 monthly visits
- Affected pages contributing minimally
After improvements:
- Organic traffic: 11,893 monthly visits (+44%)
- Affected pages now driving significant growth
The client saw substantial revenue recovery within 90 days. The ROI was clear: roughly 80 hours of work produced measurable, sustained improvements.
Tools I Used (And How I Used Them)
Let me break down the exact tools that made this possible.
Google Search Console (Free)
What I used it for:
- Identifying affected pages
- URL inspection for diagnosis
- Indexing requests
- Monitoring progress
Pro tip: Export your "not indexed" URLs to a spreadsheet weekly. Track changes over time. Patterns emerge.
Where to access: Search for "Google Search Console" and sign in with your Google account.
Technical Site Crawlers
What I used them for:
- Full site crawl to identify technical issues
- Checking for noindex tags at scale
- Analyzing internal linking structure
- Finding orphan pages (pages with no internal links)
How I used them:
- Ran a full crawl of the website
- Filtered for "not indexed" URLs
- Checked for common issues (noindex, redirect chains, broken canonicals)
- Exported internal link data to identify weak pages
Content Analysis Tools
What I used them for:
- Comparing my content to top-ranking pages
- Identifying content gaps
- Optimizing word count, headers, and keyword usage
Critical insight: Competing product pages averaged 600+ words. Mine had 120. Clear signal for improvement.
Backlink Research
What I used it for:
- Identifying which pages had existing backlinks
- Analyzing competitor content depth
- Finding keyword opportunities for expansion
- Checking if de-indexed pages lost rankings
Key discovery: Pages with existing backlinks got indexed faster after improvements. I prioritized those.
The 14 Reasons Pages Don't Get Indexed (And How to Fix Each One)
Based on this experience and industry research, here are all possible causes.
I'll categorize them by discovery, crawling, and indexing issues.
Discovery Problems (Google Can't Find Your Pages)
1. Page Isn't Linked Internally
The problem: If a page has zero internal links pointing to it, Google may never discover it through normal crawling.
How to check:
- Manually review your site navigation
- Check if the page appears anywhere
- Look for incoming links in analytics
The fix:
- Add contextual internal links from related content
- Include the page in your navigation if appropriate
- Link from your homepage or key hub pages
2. Page Not in Sitemap
The problem: Your XML sitemap helps Google discover pages efficiently. If it's missing, crawling may be delayed.
How to check:
- Open your sitemap (usually site.com/sitemap.xml)
- Search for the URL (Ctrl+F)
- For Blogger: your sitemap is auto-generated at /sitemap.xml
The fix:
- Add the URL to your sitemap (if you control it)
- For Blogger users: content is automatically added
- Resubmit sitemap in GSC after changes
3. Website Is Too Large (Crawl Budget Issues)
The problem: Google allocates limited crawl resources per site. Very large websites may take longer to fully index new content.
How to check:
- In GSC, check "Crawl stats"
- Look for pages crawled per day
- Compare to your total page count
The fix:
- Prioritize important pages in sitemap with priority tags
- Increase internal linking to priority pages
- Improve site speed (faster pages = more efficient crawling)
- Remove genuinely low-value pages
Crawling Problems (Google Can't Access Your Pages)
4. Page Blocked in robots.txt
The problem: Your robots.txt file may accidentally block Google from crawling the page.
How to check:
- Go to GSC > Settings > robots.txt Tester
- Enter your URL and test
- For Blogger: check Settings > Search preferences > Crawlers and indexing
The fix:
- Edit robots.txt to remove the disallow directive
- Be careful not to remove necessary blocks
- For Blogger: use the custom robots.txt option carefully
Example of a problematic directive:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /products/
This blocks ALL product pages!
5. Low Crawl Budget
The problem: Technical issues (slow pages, many 404s, redirect chains) waste the limited crawling resources Google allocates to your site.
How to check:
- Check GSC > Crawl Stats
- Look for: slow average response times, high 4xx/5xx errors
- Review pages per day crawled
The fix:
- Fix broken links (404s)
- Eliminate redirect chains
- Improve page speed
- Clean up duplicate pages
- Remove or noindex low-value content
6. Server Errors (5xx)
The problem: If your server returns 500-series errors when Google tries to crawl, pages won't be indexed.
How to check:
- GSC > Settings > Crawl stats
- Look for 5xx errors in the chart
- Check if errors coincide with traffic drops
The fix:
- Check with your hosting provider
- Upgrade hosting if capacity is insufficient
- Optimize database queries
- Implement caching
- For Blogger users: server errors are rare but report to Google if persistent
Indexing Problems (Google Chooses Not to Index)
7. Page Has noindex Tag
The problem: A noindex meta tag explicitly instructs Google not to index the page.
How to check:
- View page source (right-click > View Page Source)
- Search for "noindex"
- Or use URL Inspection tool in GSC
- For Blogger: check template code and post settings
The fix:
- Remove the noindex tag from page code
- For Blogger: ensure "Enable robots.txt" isn't blocking
- In template: remove
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
Common cause: Developers forget to remove noindex after site migration or testing.
8. Canonical Tag Points to Different Page
The problem: A canonical tag tells Google "consider this other URL as the primary version." If it points elsewhere, your page won't be indexed.
How to check:
- View page source
- Look for:
<link rel="canonical" href="..." /> - Verify the href points to the same URL (self-referencing)
The fix:
- Ensure canonical is self-referencing
- For Blogger: canonicals are usually correct by default
- Check template modifications if issues occur
9. Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Content
The problem: If your content closely matches another page (on your site or elsewhere), Google may choose to index only one version.
How to check:
- Copy a unique sentence from your page
- Google it in quotes:
"exact sentence here" - See if other pages with identical content appear
The fix:
- Rewrite content to be genuinely unique
- Add unique insights, data, or personal experiences
- Consolidate similar pages with 301 redirects
- For Blogger: avoid copying manufacturer descriptions
10. Low-Quality Content
The problem: Google's quality standards have increased significantly. Thin, generic, or purely AI-generated content often doesn't meet indexing thresholds.
How to check:
- Read your page honestly and critically
- Ask: "Is this better than the top 10 results for my target topic?"
- Compare word count and depth to ranking competitors
The fix:
- Expand content substantially (aim for 1,500+ words for competitive topics)
- Add depth: specific examples, data, expert insights
- Include visuals, tables, and varied media
- Write from personal experience
- Answer questions competitors don't address
Key insight: This was the #1 issue in my case study. Quality improvements drove 90% of the recovery.
11. Non-200 HTTP Status Code
The problem: Pages returning 404 (not found), 301 (redirected), 503 (unavailable), or other non-200 codes won't be indexed in their current form.
How to check:
- Use URL Inspection in GSC
- Check "HTTP response" section
- For Blogger: status codes are usually correct unless posts are deleted
The fix:
- Fix 404s by restoring content or redirecting
- Ensure 301 redirects point to relevant pages
- Fix server issues causing 503s
- For Blogger: restore deleted posts or create proper redirects
12. Page in Indexing Queue
The problem: Sometimes Google has crawled your page but hasn't yet processed it for addition to the index. This is a resource allocation issue, not quality.
How to check:
- URL Inspection tool
- Status shows "Crawled - currently not indexed"
- Check last crawl date (recent = likely in queue)
The fix:
- Wait patiently (2-4 weeks is normal)
- If it exceeds 4 weeks, request indexing via GSC
- Ensure page quality is genuinely high
- Add more internal links to the page
- Include in sitemap with high priority
13. Google Couldn't Render the Page
The problem: If your page relies heavily on JavaScript, Google may struggle to render it properly and see the actual content.
How to check:
- Use URL Inspection tool
- Compare "Crawled Page" HTML vs. "Live Test" rendered version
- Check if major content is missing in crawled version
The fix:
- Implement server-side rendering where possible
- Ensure critical content is in initial HTML
- Test rendering with GSC's Mobile-Friendly Test
- For Blogger: rendering is usually not an issue with standard templates
14. Page Takes Too Long to Load
The problem: Slow pages waste crawl budget and may not get fully processed during indexing evaluation.
How to check:
- Use Google PageSpeed Insights
- Target: Under 3 seconds load time
- Test on mobile (Google indexes mobile-first)
The fix:
- Optimize and compress images
- Minify CSS and JavaScript
- Enable browser caching
- Use a CDN if possible
- For Blogger: use optimized themes and compress images before upload
Common Mistakes That Made Things Worse (Don't Do These)
During my 8 years fixing indexing issues, I've seen (and made!) plenty of mistakes.
Mistake #1: Requesting Indexing Too Often
I used to think: "I'll request indexing every day until Google responds!"
Wrong.
What happens: Google allocates resources based on their schedule, not your requests. Repeated requests don't speed things up.
What to do instead:
- Request indexing ONCE after making substantial improvements
- Wait at least 2-3 weeks before requesting again
- Focus on quality improvements, not submission frequency
Mistake #2: Not Actually Improving Content
The biggest mistake? Thinking minor tweaks will satisfy Google's quality standards.
I've seen people:
- Add 200 words of generic fluff
- Stuff keywords without improving value
- Make cosmetic changes without addressing core quality
Reality check: Google's quality bar is high. Meet it properly or don't bother.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Mobile Experience
Google indexes mobile-first. If your page is broken on mobile, it won't get indexed regardless of desktop quality.
Check this:
- Open every page on a smartphone
- Does it load quickly (under 3 seconds)?
- Is text readable without zooming?
- Are buttons easily clickable?
- Does content reflow properly?
Use GSC's Mobile-Friendly Test regularly.
Mistake #4: Deleting Pages Without Redirects
When pages aren't indexed, some people delete them. That's sometimes appropriate.
But if you don't set up 301 redirects to relevant replacement pages, you lose:
- Any existing link equity
- Historical traffic patterns
- User bookmarks (creates 404 errors)
Always redirect deleted pages to the most relevant existing content.
How to Prevent This Problem in the Future
Once I fixed the client's indexing issues, I implemented a prevention system to catch future problems early.
Monthly Indexing Audit
Every month, I check GSC for new "not indexed" pages before they accumulate.
My audit checklist:
- Log into GSC > Pages report
- Filter by "Crawled - not indexed"
- Identify any new additions since last check
- Investigate common factors among new entries
- Take corrective action immediately
If I see patterns (e.g., all new blog posts aren't indexing), I investigate the root cause right away rather than letting it compound.
Content Quality Standards
I created minimum content standards for all new pages going forward:
For product/service pages:
- Minimum 500 words unique content
- At least 3 customer benefits clearly highlighted
- FAQ section with 3+ relevant questions
- 2+ internal links to related content
For blog posts:
- Minimum 1,500 words for competitive topics
- At least 1 original insight, example, or data point
- 5+ relevant internal links
- Review and update annually
For category pages:
- Minimum 300 words unique introductory content
- Clear filtering and navigation
- Links to featured posts or products
Technical Monitoring Schedule
I use monitoring on a regular schedule:
Weekly:
- Quick GSC check for new indexing issues
- Review Search Analytics for sudden drops
Monthly:
- Full technical site crawl
- Internal link structure review
- Page speed testing
Quarterly:
- Comprehensive content audit
- Sitemap verification
- Mobile usability review
When to Hire an SEO Professional
I'm going to be honest with you.
If you've tried the fixes in this guide and nothing is working after 6-8 weeks of genuine effort, you probably need professional help.
Situations that typically require an expert:
- Your site has complex technical architecture
- You're seeing indexing drops across hundreds of pages
- Technical errors appear that you don't understand
- You've implemented fixes but metrics continue declining
- Your site is very large (10,000+ pages)
- Server-side issues are beyond your technical skill
Questions to ask potential SEO professionals:
- "Can you show me a similar indexing project you've completed successfully?"
- "What's your diagnostic process for indexing issues?"
- "What results can I realistically expect, and in what timeframe?"
- "Do you provide detailed reporting and explanations?"
Red flags to avoid:
- Promises of "guaranteed #1 rankings"
- Won't clearly explain their process
- Prices that seem impossibly low for complex work
- Can't provide client references or case studies
Professional SEO work costs what it costs because of expertise and time investment. Be wary of anything that seems too good to be true.
Key Takeaways: What Actually Matters
Here's what 8 years of fixing indexing issues has taught me:
Google's selection process isn't broken. Content quality standards have simply increased.
The "Crawled - currently not indexed" status is often Google's way of indicating:
"We evaluated your page against competing content and current index. It doesn't meet our threshold for inclusion based on quality, uniqueness, and user value."
The solution isn't finding a technical trick or workaround. It's creating content that genuinely deserves visibility.
Critical questions to ask yourself:
- Would I personally find this page helpful if I discovered it?
- Is it meaningfully better than what's currently ranking?
- Does it offer unique value or just repeat existing information?
If you answer "no" to any of those questions, improve the content first. Technical fixes are secondary.
Recovery timeline expectations:
- Week 1-2: Typically no movement (Google hasn't noticed changes yet)
- Week 3-4: First signs (pages may move to "discovered" status)
- Week 4-6: Initial indexing (if quality improvements are substantial)
- Week 6-12: Full recovery (for most successful cases)
Most important insight: Focus your effort on high-value pages. Not every page deserves to exist, and that's perfectly acceptable. Quality over quantity wins every time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does "Crawled – currently not indexed" typically last?
It varies based on the underlying cause. For quality issues, it persists until you make substantial improvements and Google re-evaluates (typically 2-6 weeks after changes). For technical issues, it can resolve within days once fixed. For new websites, it may take 2-4 weeks simply due to crawl scheduling.
Should I delete pages that aren't indexed?
Not automatically. First, diagnose WHY they aren't indexed. If they're genuinely low-quality or duplicate, deletion or consolidation makes sense. But if they have potential value, improve them instead. Always use 301 redirects when deleting pages that have any existing traffic or backlinks.
Does requesting indexing actually help?
Yes, but with limitations. Requesting indexing tells Google "please prioritize crawling this URL." It can speed up discovery of changes but doesn't guarantee indexing. Google still evaluates quality. Request indexing ONCE after making improvements, then wait 2-3 weeks before trying again. Multiple rapid requests don't help.
Is "Crawled – not indexed" a Google penalty?
No, it's not a penalty. Penalties are manual actions visible in GSC or algorithmic demotions affecting ranking. "Crawled - not indexed" simply means Google chose not to include the page in their index based on resource allocation and quality evaluation. It's a selection decision, not a punishment.
Can I recover from this status?
Yes, absolutely. In my case study, 87% of pages recovered within 6 weeks after substantial quality improvements. The key is genuinely improving content value, not just making minor tweaks. Focus on quality over quick fixes.
How do I know if my fix is working?
Monitor GSC weekly. Look for status changes: "Crawled - not indexed" → "Discovered" → "Indexed." Check "Last crawled" dates to see if Google is revisiting. Use site:yourdomain.com searches to verify indexing. Most importantly, track organic traffic to those specific URLs in analytics.

Final Thoughts: Quality Always Wins
After fixing indexing issues for over 50 websites, one truth remains constant:
Sustainable SEO success comes from genuine quality, not clever tricks.
When Google doesn't index your content, it's often an opportunity to improve what you're offering users. The pages I recovered in this case study didn't just get indexed — they became genuinely more valuable to visitors.
That's the mindset shift that matters most.
Stop asking "How do I trick Google into indexing this?"
Start asking "How do I make this content genuinely useful enough that Google wants to show it to people?"
Answer that question honestly, and indexing takes care of itself.
