Why do I need to tell search engines what to do?
You want to make your audience and search engines happy, right? You can do that by critically evaluating your pages, and excluding those with no value from the search results. In Yoast SEO you get the power to decide what search engines should index, which directly influences your audience’s experience!
✅ Gain site wide control of the search appearance of your blog post and product tags
In Yoast SEO you can set noindex as a default for blog post tags and product tags.
✅ Decide what happens to individual pages
What do a login page and a ‘thank you’ page have in common? They both have no SEO value. The best course of action is to remove such pages from search engines.
What about blog posts? You might want to noindex old posts which need some extra work. A noindex tag can come in handy until you update the post and make it ready to stand proudly on the search results page.
✅ Let Yoast SEO control the technical stuff in the background
Yoast SEO works hard behind the scenes to facilitate the dialogue between your site and search engines. In our developer documentation, you can learn more about how we manage and generate meta robot tags.
