Where can I find and change the "no indexing" setting in Webflow that is preventing my website from showing up on Google?
TL;DR
- Check Project SEO settings and Page Settings for any enabled "noindex" options or meta tags and disable/remove them.
- Republish the site to apply changes and allow Google to index it.
If your Webflow site isn’t appearing on Google, it's likely that the "no indexing" setting is enabled, which tells search engines not to index your pages.
1. Check Site-Wide “No Index” Setting
- Go to Project Settings for your site.
- Click on the SEO tab.
- Look for the “Disable Webflow subdomain indexing” option.
- This setting prevents indexing of your
webflow.iosubdomain. If you're using a custom domain, this won't affect it directly. - Make sure your site is not password protected under the General tab > Password Protection.
2. Check Page-Level “No Index” Settings
- In the Webflow Designer, open the Pages panel.
- Select the page you want to check (e.g., Home).
- Click the gear icon to open Page Settings.
- Scroll to the SEO Settings section.
- Find the field labeled “Custom Code: Head” or the checkbox for “Set ‘noindex’ for this page”.
- If the checkbox is enabled, uncheck it to allow indexing.
3. Look for Custom "noindex" Code
- Still in Page Settings, or under Page Settings > SEO, check for any custom code in the Head Code area.
- Manually remove any
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">tag you find.
4. Republish Site
- After making changes, click Publish and select all connected domains to republish the site with updated settings.
Summary
To remove “no indexing” in Webflow, check both Project SEO settings and individual Page Settings for any “noindex” controls or meta tags. Uncheck or delete them, then republish to let Google index your site.
