How to Fix Crawl Errors in Google Search Console

Every web master and business owner imagines their website being listed first on search engine results pages (SERPs). Even when you focus on producing the finest quality, unique, and interesting content, you don’t seem to drive enough traffic. If you have everything in place and yet you are still lacking visibility, it could be due to crawl errors.

Google, along with other search engines, rely on a three step process to find and learn about your website, enabling them to rank it effectively:

  1. Crawl – Googles crawlers are digital explorers, making their way through the vast web to discover new content
  2. Index – Once the crawlers identify your website, they analyse the content, storing all the information in a massive database
  3. Rank – when a user searches for something that relates to your website, Google pulls the relevant pages from the index, deciding which pages to showcase first.
