Hi. I’m trying to remove the staging site of my project. I already turned off the webflow subdomain indexing but it is still appearing in google search. Can someone help me? Thank you! See the images below:
Yep unfortunately you need to turn that off before Google indexes it.
The problem is that when you turn this on and your site is already indexed, Webflow creates the meta noindex nofollow tag but it also blocks all search engines with robots.txt.
According to Google engineers, that means that Google will never see the noindex tag and existing indexed pages will likely be “stuck” in search results for some time. Google will not update or remove them.
I have a few workarounds detailed here;
