The actual indexing status is checked in Search Console.

Expectations and evidence

Required inputs (protocol identifiers)

search-console, intent

When it applies

URLs whose Google indexing state must be established.

How to check

Use URL Inspection on a representative sample and retain the export or screenshot.

Expectation

Inspection is dated for each selected URL; actual state, crawl access and canonical are recorded against intent, with discrepancies explained.

Evidence to retain

Known URL, crawling permission, indexing state and Google-selected canonical documented.

Non-applicability

Google is explicitly out of scope; lack of access alone is insufficient.

Limitations

A public audit cannot establish this status without property access.

Outcome clarification

C requires all expectations across the declared scope. NC requires evidenced contradiction; otherwise NT. NA requires evidence of non-applicability.

Reference scope

Technical reference; the TSEP acceptance rule remains an editorial proposal.
