Authority Tip

Use noindex sparingly on thin content or private landing pages to focus your domain's crawling energy where it matters most. For VDESIGNU clients, we usually recommend index, follow for all high-value cornerstone content.

Granular Control of Search Crawling

The meta robots tag provides page-level instructions to search bots. Whether you need to block a private page with 'noindex' or prevent images from being indexed, our builder configures the exact string required.

nofollow at Page Level

A meta robots nofollow applies to every link on the page, and since 2019 Google treats nofollow as a hint rather than a rule. To mark individual links, use rel="sponsored" for paid links, rel="ugc" for user content and rel="nofollow" for the rest.
