Steps to verify
- Decide search publication intent.
- Compare template and response signals.
- Check access and actual indexing.
How to interpret the result
The tool reads signals within its scope. Separately consider that a search engine must access a page to read its noindex directive.
Deciding what to do next
Robots blocking and noindex serve different roles. Consult Google Search Central’s noindex guidance for removal and record changes and verification times.
Feature scope
Read HTML signals from the Website Audit engine. Scores are not rankings and an absent noindex does not prove indexing; check actual indexing separately.
Frequently asked questions
