1800 170 681A noindex tag tells search engines not to include a page in their results, even if they can crawl it. It's useful for thank you pages, internal search results and thin pages. Be careful, because a leftover noindex from a development site can remove a whole website from Google.
No. Robots.txt stops crawling, but a blocked page can still appear in results if other pages link to it. To remove a page, use a noindex tag and let Google crawl it, or delete it and return a 404 or 410.
Google stops crawling your pages, and over time your listings lose their descriptions and rankings. It's a surprisingly common mistake after a site launch. Check yourdomain.com.au/robots.txt and Search Console's robots.txt report whenever traffic suddenly drops. Fixing it quickly usually brings rankings back once Google recrawls.
