    Crawling is vising a website by search engines and get information that includes Content, Description & keywords and indexing is making database of the information that has been collected by crawler.

    Indexing is the result of successful crawling. I consider a URL to be indexed (by Google) when an info: or cache: query produces a result, signifying the URL's presence in the Google index.

    Crawling - Means search engine bots have just visited your website.
    Indexing - Search engine bots visited your site and also add the page to its database index.
