Disabling Search Indexing on Pages

Overview

Indexing defines if pages show up in search results of different search engines. This article shares the process for admins or Super Users to disable indexing on pages to make them unsearchable.

NOTE: This must be done immediately after page creation. If search engines have already indexed a page, making this change will not remove it from the search results, and you will need to contact search engines directly to recrawl the site. 

 

Process

Follow these steps to disable indexing on a page:

  1. Go to Persona Bar > Content > Pages

  4. Click on the S.E.O sub-tab.
  5. Click to switch Allow Indexing to Off
  6. Click Save
