Use the right evidence for the question
A crawlability check can show whether a URL is technically accessible, but it cannot by itself prove that Google currently retains the page in its index. A provider acceptance response is also not an index-status confirmation.
Best option for a site you control
Use Google Search Console URL Inspection for the verified property. It can report the indexed state, last crawl information, user-declared and selected canonical, mobile usability information, and detected enhancements. Review the Pages report for patterns across groups of URLs.
Server logs and analytics
Verified crawler requests in server logs can confirm that Googlebot fetched a URL, but a crawl does not prove indexing. Organic landing-page data can show search visits, but the absence of traffic does not prove exclusion because the page may not rank or receive demand.
Public search checks have limits
A direct search for the URL or a site: query can be a quick clue, but it is not a complete index inventory and results can vary. Do not base a large indexing report only on whether one query returns the page.
Recommended workflow
- Run a technical crawlability check.
- Inspect the canonical and noindex directives.
- Use Search Console when the property is verified.
- Review server logs for crawl activity.
- Investigate the specific exclusion status instead of resubmitting blindly.
