Prevent search engine indexing

Let’s talk about how to prevent a page from being indexed. There are two options, the metadata block and the metadata spreadsheet. Use the noindex property in the metadata block to exclude a specific page from search engine indexing. Set the noindex property to true to inform search engine crawlers that the page should not be indexed or displayed in search results. If you want to exclude larger site sections or multiple pages, utilize the metadata spreadsheet in Excel or Google Sheets. Locate the relevant metadata entry and set the noindex property to true for those sections. This ensures that search engines do not crawl and index the designated sections of your website. In summary, to prevent specific pages or site sections from being indexed, use the noindex property in the metadata block or metadata spreadsheet. These methods effectively control content visibility and ensure desired pages are included in search engine results.
