Crawling is basically when the search engine spider visits a page.

Indexing is when the spider records the page and starts displaying the page in search or counting the link for SERP movement.

Crawling is the visiting only by the search engine spider while Indexing is to records the data in its server. Both are the different activity.

Crawling - Crawling takes place when there is a successful fetching of unique URIs which can be traced from valid links from other web pages.

Indexing - Indexing takes place after a crawled URIs are processed. Note that there may be several URIs that are crawled but there could be fewer of them whose content will be processed through indexing.

Crawling is the process of reading through your web page source by search engine bots or spiders.
Indexing is the storing of your web page in search engine database after a successful crawl.

Crawling is the process or reading through your webpage source by search engine spiders. They provide a cache certificate after a successful crawl. Indexing is updating the cached webpages in search engine database. Indexed webpages are now ready for search engine rankings.
