This document discusses how to control Googlebot's crawling of a website. It notes that Googlebot often does not crawl all pages of large websites due to limited crawl budgets. It recommends analyzing website logs and other metrics like pages crawled, indexed, ranked, impressions, clicks and conversions to understand Googlebot's behavior. The key factors that influence Googlebot are described as the "magic triangle" of links, content, and technical aspects. All three need attention to help Googlebot fully crawl and index a website.
