Crawling means to visit the link by SEs and indexing means to put the page contents in DB (after analysis) and make them available in search results when a request is made.Crawling:When Google visits your website for tracking purposes. This process is done by Google’s Spider crawler.
Indexing; After crawling has been done, the results get put onto Google’s index (i.e. web search).

The main difference between crawling and indexing is that the crawling process is first completed and after that, the indexing process is done.

Crawling suggests that the search engine crawl or fetch the net pages whereas compartmentalization suggests that search engine crawl the net pages, saved the data and it seem within the search.

Crawling means the spider visit the websites.
Indexing means the spider crawl the web pages, saved the information and it appears in the search engine.
Google first crawls and then indexes.
