What is Google indexing?

Let me start by saying that indexing is often misunderstood. I myself have long been confused between the terms “exploration”, “indexing” and “positioning”.

Exploration, is when Google sends its robots, called Googlebot, to crawl a site's pages. Indexing, This is when these pages are stored and analyzed in Google's database. Finally, the positioning concerns the order in which your pages appear in search results.
