What is Indexing?

In general, indexing refers to the organization of data according to a specific schema or plan. In IT, the term has various similar uses including, among other things, making information more presentable and accessible.
 
In layman's terms, indexing is the process of adding web pages into Google search. Depending upon which meta tag you used (index or NO-index), Google will crawl and index your pages. A no-index tag means that that page will not be added to the web search's index.
 
Indexing basically means enabling Google to show your website in it's search results. Not a good look to index domain.webflow.io if your main domain.com is live because most often it appears in search results before your actual domain.
