Step by step
- 01
Crawled — currently not indexed
Usually thin or duplicate content. Improve depth or noindex.

Discovered — currently not indexed
Crawl budget. Internal-link the page and request indexing.
- 03
Soft 404
Page returns 200 but has no content. Add content or return real 404.

Redirect error
Usually a redirect chain. Reduce to a single hop.
- 05
Duplicate without user-selected canonical
Add a canonical tag pointing to the preferred version.
