2026 දී Google ක්‍රියාත්මක වන ආකාරය (Crawling -> Indexing -> Ranking)

To learn SEO properly, students must first understand how Google finds, understands, and ranks websites. In 2026, Google is more advanced than ever, but its search process still follows three important stages: crawling, indexing, and ranking. 🔍

🕷️ 1. Crawling

Crawling is the process where Google discovers web pages. Google uses automated bots to visit websites, follow links, read content, and understand what pages are available online. If a page cannot be crawled, Google may not know that page exists.

📚 2. Indexing

After crawling, Google studies the page content, headings, images, links, structure, and overall meaning. If the page is useful and accessible, Google stores it in its search index. Only indexed pages can appear in search results.

🎯 3. Ranking

When someone searches on Google, Google chooses the best pages from its index. Ranking depends on relevance, content quality, search intent, user experience, website authority, and technical performance.

By understanding this process, students can clearly see what SEO is trying to improve: helping Google discover, understand, and trust a website. 🚀
