Break down index coverage into indexed, excluded and error states.
Coverage below about 70 per cent usually indicates thin or duplicate content rather than a technical fault. Unaccounted URLs are typically discovered but not yet crawled, which points to crawl budget pressure. Submitting fewer, higher-quality URLs generally raises both coverage percentage and total indexed pages.
