Crawl budget
The limited amount of time and pages Google's bots will spend on your site each visit.
Definition
Crawl budget is how much attention Google's bot is willing to give your site in a given session. Big sites with thousands of URLs can run out of budget before Google sees the pages you actually care about. For most small Miami businesses with under 500 pages, this is not a daily concern — but it becomes critical if your site has thin filter pages, broken links, infinite calendars, or massive WooCommerce variations eating bot time. The fix is keeping your site fast, your sitemap clean, and blocking junk pages with robots.txt. We audit crawl budget as part of our SEO packages.
Why it matters in Miami
Miami e-commerce shops (think Wynwood streetwear or Aventura jewelry) with hundreds of color/size variants can quietly waste crawl budget on duplicate URLs — meanwhile new products sit unindexed for weeks.
Example
An Aventura jewelry store realizes Google is wasting time crawling 12,000 filter URLs. They block filters in robots.txt and new collections start indexing in 2 days instead of 3 weeks.
