By default, new landing pages are indexed by search engines such as Google. In this article, you'll learn how to no longer let your landing page be found by search engines such as Google.
What does indexing mean?
Indexing means that search engines (such as Google) can include a page in the search results. If your website is indexed, it can be found in Google.
No indexing means the opposite: the page is not included in the search results.
Why would you not index a page?
There may be situations where you don't want a page to be found via Google:
because you are still working on the page, but you already want to share it with a few people;
because it is the download page after requesting your lead magnet, and you don't want everyone to be able to visit this page and simply download your lead magnet;
because for another reason you have content online that should not be freely accessible to everyone.
How do I hide a landing page from Google search results?
First, edit your landing page. Go to Settings > SEO and set the page to No index. Don't forget to save the page.
Your page will no longer be indexed in Google's search results.
❗️ It may take a few days before Google stops showing the page in the search results.
You can also easily see which pages are and are not indexed in the page overview👇
