Can anyone explain the exact meaning of crawling and indexing?

Crawling is the process of reading through your webpage source by search engine crawlers. They are responsible to provide a cache certificate after a success crawl. Indexing is the updating of your crawled webpages in search engines, so that these pages are ready for search engine ranking.

Crawling means follow a path. In SEO word, crawling means following your links and crawling your Website. When bots come to your Website (On any page), it follows other linked page and crawl your site. This is one reason we create site map, as it contains all the links of our blog and bots uses it to deep crawl our pages.
In layman word, Indexing is the process of adding Webpages into Google search. Depending upon what meta tag you used for your page (Index or NO-index), Google crawl and index your pages. No-index means that page will not be added in Web search. By default any WordPress post or pages are indexable. A good idea for better search engine ranking is to let only vital part of your blog/Website be in index and do not index un-necessary archive like tags, categories and all such pages.

As described above crawling and indexing is the search engines examining the website then displaying what it has found on the SERPs (search engine results pages). Some important things to note is that if you want your website to show up first for some information such as an article then post it on your website first and wait for it to get crawled and indexed before sharing the information on another website. This will increase the chances of your website showing up first before say an article directory where you shared your information on.
