How to Stop Search Engines from Indexing Your Website or Funnel Pages

Adding No-Index Tags to Prevent Indexing

To stop search engines from indexing certain pages, you need to add specific HTML tags. There are two primary types of tags available for this purpose:

Google-Specific Tag: 

This tag will block only Google from indexing the page:
html

<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">

Universal Tag: 
This tag will prevent all search engines from indexing the page:
html
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

Steps to Add No-Index Tags

1. Access Your Page Editor: 

Open the builder where your website or funnel page is hosted.

2. Open the SEO Metadata Settings: 

Find the option labeled "SEO metadata" in the menu. 

3. Add a New Custom Meta Tag: 

Click on “Links & Tags,” then choose the "Add" button next to “Custom Meta Tags” to create a new tag. 

4. Input the Tag Information:

• For blocking Google only, input googlebot in the name field and noindex in the content field.
• For universal blocking, input robots in the name field and noindex in the content field.

5. Save Your Changes: Click the "Update SEO Meta" button, then make sure to save the changes.

Key Things to Keep in Mind

• Page-Specific Tags: Each page you want to block must have the no-index tags applied individually.

• Timing: Search engines may take a few days to several weeks to recognize these tags and remove the pages from their indexes.
