How to prevent google listing a page
In this article we'll guide you through the process of preventing Google listing a page.
Preventing Google from listing a page might be useful, for instance, if the page is for internal use only. e.g. Intranet; if the page contains confidential information or is under construction.
Preventing Google listing the page will not stop people who already have the link from accessing the page. Also, if the page is already listed on Google, it can take some time for it to be removed.
- In the website editor select the 'Content' tab.
- Click on the 'Pages' section.
- On the pages list, find the page you wish to exclude from Google's search listings.
- Click on the 3 dots and select 'Settings'.
- Within the 'General settings' tab, toggle the 'Prevent Google listing this page' sliding button on.
- Finish the process by updating the settings.
Instead of preventing Google from listing a page you can also lock a page by protecting it with password, so that only users with the credentials can access it.
