What is the difference between indexed and crawling:

Crawling is a term applied when Google, or another search engine, sends its bot to a web page or web post and “sees” the page. Don’t let this be involved with having that page moving indexed. Crawling is the first part of having a search engine recognize your page and show it in search results. Having your page crawled does not required mean your page was indexed and will be observed. Pages get crawled for a variety of reason the most common is having an XML sitemap that Google reads, which points to your new page.

Indexing is when a page gets into search engines, and crawling is the process when the page gets fetched.

Crawling means the search engine robot crawl or fetch the web pages while Indexing means search engine robot crawl the web pages, saved the information and it appear in the search engine.

Crawling is the process or reading through your webpage source by search engine spiders. They provide a cache certificate after a successful crawl. Indexing is updating the cached webpages in search engine database. Indexed webpages are now ready for search engine rankings.
