You can't call yourself an SEO Technician if you don't use the Indexing Report in Google Search Console.
It is an invaluable tool for understanding:
- Which URLs have been crawled and indexed by Google and which have not.
- And, more importantly, why did the search engine make this choice regarding the URL.
The report seems relatively simple with its traffic light color scheme.
- Red (Error) : Stop! Pages are not indexed.
- Yellow (valid with warnings) : If you have free time, stop, otherwise step on the gas and go! Pages can be indexed.
- Green (really) : everything is fine. Pages are indexed.
