Similar to the crawl, this is the ability to independently search the subpages of a website. The directory depth can play a role for some websites. A deep crawl ensures that subpages are also indexed and evaluated as independent pages. This can take several hours for large and extensive websites.
How Deep Crawls Work
Deep crawling starts at the home page of a website and then follows all links to other pages on the site. The goal is to crawl as many pages as possible so that they can be indexed and included in search results.
Deep crawling has two main advantages:
- Increased visibility in search results: The more pages are indexed, the greater the chances of appearing in a search for keywords related to the website in question.
- More comprehensive data collection: when all pages of the website are crawled, users get a more complete picture of how the website is performing overall. This can be helpful in identifying areas where improvements need to be made.
Another important aspect of crawling is the Crawl Budget.
