Indexing Audit

Audit the indexing status of the top pages on a site and produce a prioritized action list.

Steps

1. Call list_properties to confirm the exact site_url.
2. Call get_search_analytics with dimensions=page, sort_by=impressions, row_limit=20 to identify the 20 most-visible pages.
3. Extract the list of page URLs from the results.
4. Call batch_url_inspection with up to 10 URLs at a time (API limit). Run twice if needed to cover all 20 pages.
5. Categorize each URL by verdict:
   • ✅ Indexed (PASS)
   • ⚠️ Soft 404 / Excluded
   • ❌ Not indexed / Blocked
   • 🔍 Canonical mismatch (Google chose a different canonical)
6. For each issue, provide the specific coverageState, pageFetchState, or robotsTxtState from the inspection.

Output format

Present as a prioritized action list:

1. Critical — Not indexed pages that have impressions (visibility being lost)
2. High — Canonical mismatches on high-traffic pages
3. Medium — Robots.txt or fetch blocks
4. Low — Soft exclusions on low-traffic pages

Include a summary table: page URL | verdict | issue | recommended action.
