This episode from SEO Snippets answers the question of “Why is the number of pages indexed on the Search Console different than what appears on Google.com?”.

The episodes are introduced by John Mueller, a Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google and he said they hope to cover topics including “404 errors, how and when crawling works, a site’s URL structure, and duplicate content.”
