Creating a single page on your site is not an easy task. It requires a lot of human and material resources, including marketers, developers, and web designers. What if a page created with the hard work of so many people is not exposed in Google search results? Saying that there is no exposure is the same as saying that organic traffic does not occur. If no one can see your page, not only will the purpose of creating the page be achieved, but the reason for creating the page itself will be lost. To prevent this situation in advance, you must check whether pages that do not have natural traffic or cannot be tracked are actually exposed (indexed) in search results, and if they are not indexed, find the reason and improve it as soon as possible. 1.
