What does "Excluded" mean in Google Search Console Pages report?

Excluded pages are not in Google's index, but this is often intentional. Common excluded statuses include:

• Crawled – currently not indexed - Google crawled it but chose not to index it (quality issue)
• Discovered – currently not indexed - Known but not yet crawled
• Duplicate without canonical tag selected - Google chose a different canonical version
• Excluded by 'noindex' tag - You've told Google not to index this page
• Blocked by robots.txt - Googlebot can't access the page
• Page with redirect - The URL redirects to another URL
• Not found (404) - Page returns a 404 error
• Soft 404 - Page returns 200 but appears to have no content

Review each excluded reason to confirm it's intentional. Unexpected exclusions may indicate issues worth investigating.

How AutoPSEO helps

Instead of inspecting URLs one by one, run a bulk inspection in AutoPSEO (up to 2,000 URLs per property per day, Google’s quota) and filter the results by verdict, coverage state and Google-selected canonical. The Index Tracker keeps re-checking the URLs you care about every day.
