Crawl budget is the attention a search engine spends on your site. On a large website that attention is finite, so the job is to point it at the pages that earn traffic and away from the ones that do not.
Crawl and indexation health is central to our Enterprise SEO service, where we make sure engines spend their effort on the pages that matter.
Crawl budget is how many pages a search engine will fetch from your site in a given period. On small sites it rarely matters. On large sites with millions of URLs, a wasted crawl budget means valuable pages get found and refreshed slowly, or not at all.
Most waste comes from low-value URLs the engine keeps fetching. Parameters, filters, session IDs and thin duplicates pull crawlers away from the pages that earn revenue.
You steer crawlers with a clean architecture and clear signals. Robots rules, canonical tags, internal linking and an accurate XML sitemap together tell the engine what to fetch and what to skip.
Keep your XML sitemaps limited to canonical, indexable URLs that return a 200 status. A sitemap full of redirects and dead pages teaches the engine to trust it less.
Crawling is not indexing. Check coverage reports and log files to see which pages the engine actually keeps. If valuable pages are excluded, trace the cause back to a signal you can fix.
Enterprise SEO is search optimisation for large websites, often with thousands or millions of URLs, multiple teams and complex publishing systems. The work shifts from editing single pages to managing templates, crawl budget, indexation and governance at scale.
