How to prevent Google from listing a page

In this article, we'll guide you through the steps of preventing Google from listing a page.

Use this setting for a draft or temporary page that you do not want Google to list. It does not stop people with the link from opening the page. For confidential information, use password protection or access controls instead. If Google has already listed the page, removal may take time.

Step 1

In the website editor, select the 'Content' tab.

Step 2

Click on the 'Pages' section.

Step 3

On the pages list, find the page you wish to exclude from Google's search listings.

Step 4

Click on the icon and select 'Settings'.

Step 5

Within the 'General settings' tab, toggle the 'Prevent Google listing this page' sliding button on.

Step 6

Finish the process by updating the settings.

Instead of preventing Google from listing a page, you can also lock it by protecting it with a password so that only users with the correct credentials can access it.
