By default, new landing pages are not indexed by search engines such as Google. If you want to make an indexed page no longer findable, read on 👇
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.
Not 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 you hide a landing page from Google search results?
First, open the relevant landing page. Then go to Settings > SEO and set the page to Not indexed. Don't forget to save the page.
Your page will now not be indexed in Google's search results.
❗️ It may take a few days before Google stops showing the page in the search results.
