Stage One · Discovery
Crawling: Getting discovered by Googlebot
Before a page can ever rank, crawlers must find it. Googlebot follows internal links and reads XML sitemaps to map your pages into its queue.

💡 Strategist rule: If Google can't crawl it, it doesn't exist on the web.

Stage Two · Comprehension
Indexing: Matching search intent
Once crawled, Google parses headings, mobile usability, and search intent. It asks: "Does this page genuinely satisfy what the searcher needs?"

Searcher Psychology
