Technical SEO guide
Crawlable, indexable, discoverable, and canonical do not mean the same thing.
Review whether a crawler can request the URL, what response and directives it receives, whether links or sitemaps expose the page, and which URL the site asks search engines to treat as primary. A page can have a different answer for each question.
What to look for
Get the answer without losing sight of where it came from.
Can a crawler reach it?
Review robots.txt, authentication, status codes, timeouts, and resource requirements that affect fetching.
What does the page say about indexing?
Inspect meta and header directives beside the canonical and response behavior.
How would a crawler find it?
Compare internal links, sitemaps, backlinks, and other known sources to find isolated or contradictory pages.
Put the guide to work
Understand the issue, check the page, and choose the next step.
The strongest audits leave room for context. Confirm what happened, rule out the common false positives, decide who owns the fix, and check the page again afterward.

From finding to follow-up
See where the work stands—and what still needs to happen.
- 01Found
Netrix records the page and the issue it found.
- 02Reviewed
Someone checks the finding in context.
- 03Approved
The right person chooses what should change.
- 04Applied
A supported connection accepts the change.
- 05Checked
Netrix reads the public page again.
- 06Shared
The report summarizes the audit and fixes currently marked applied.
A few things worth knowing
Netrix can prepare the work. Your team still makes the call.
- 01Nothing publishes itself
AI drafts and supported SEO changes wait for an authorized person to act.
- 02A write is not proof
Netrix records when a provider accepts a change, then checks the public page separately. If it cannot read the page, the result stays unknown.
- 03Limits belong in the open
When a feature depends on another provider or stops short of a complete workflow, the page should say so.
