Step-by-Step Instructions
- 01
Navigate to the Indexability section in your audit results.
- 02
Look for pages with noindex meta tags that should be indexed.
- 03
Check for canonical tag errors pointing to the wrong URL.
- 04
Review pages blocked by robots.txt that shouldn't be blocked.
- 05
Identify thin content or duplicate pages that may be excluded by Google.
- 06
Fix issues and request re-indexing via Google Search Console.
💡 Note
Your sitemap should only include pages you want indexed. Regularly audit your sitemap for URLs that no longer exist or have been redirected.
