Set noindex on a page, product or category
Guide to setting noindex in Shoporama so that search engines do not index certain pages.
Noindex tells search engines that a page should not be indexed and displayed in search results. Shoporama automatically sets noindex on checkout flow and search pages, but you can also do it manually.
Products
- Go to Products and click Edit
- Under SEO you will find a noindex setting
- Enable Noindex
- Click Save
Categories
Same procedure as products: edit the category and enable noindex under the SEO settings.
Landing pages
On landing pages, you can also set noindex while editing the landing page.
When to use noindex?
- Duplicate content - pages with similar content to other pages
- Temporary pages - campaign pages that will soon be removed
- Internal pages - pages intended for internal purposes only
- Thin content - pages with very little unique content
Automatic noindex
Shoporama automatically turns on noindex:
- Checkout pages
- Search results pages
- Filtered category pages
Tip: Use noindex wisely
Use noindex wisely. If you remove a page from Google, you'll also lose any traffic it generates. Instead, consider redirects for pages with disappearing content.
