Frequently asked questions

What is noindex vs nofollow?

Noindex prevents the page from appearing in search results. Nofollow tells search engines not to follow links on the page. They serve different purposes.

Should I block my staging site?

Yes! Use robots.txt to Disallow all crawlers on staging/dev environments. Also use noindex meta tags and consider password protection for extra security.

Why isn't my page being indexed?

Common causes: noindex tag, robots.txt blocking, canonical pointing elsewhere, low-quality content, or the page is too new. Use Google Search Console for diagnosis.
