Hi webflowers.
here’s my share:
https://preview.webflow.com/preview/scottbarbey70956011502405-0cd0e7d07ed35?preview=0f56a325a84c45c5fd20d145375281af
I’m a designer and I want to build a page for more private viewing.
As some of the work has not launched yet, I would prefer it not be searchable thru google, etc.
page is already “hidden” from navigation… scott barbey | pharma
Any advice - outside of “don’t put any text on the page” …?

Go to your site’s site wide SEO settings . Then put this in your robots.txt file:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /url-of-page-here
Change “url-of-page-here” with the page you want search engines not to pick up
Firstly, as always, thanks!
as I’m almost sure I’ll do this wrong… I’ve attached a screenshot.
( I am a massive luddite and web flow is my enabler. )
so, did I get the url right and is there any easy way to check…?
I guess I could go the google and insert one of my copy blocks and search for it, correct?

remove “/scottbarbey.com”
so the line should just read
Disallow: /pharma
?

Just to be clear, that robots.txt change will disable search bots from seeing anything in /pharma if you end up setting up subfolders. Another way to block a single page without touching robots.txt is to go into the settings for that page and pop this in the header:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

Edit: Misread the robots.txt advice given; clarified above.

so sorry, I’m just not following.
you said to “go into the settings for that page and pop this in the header:”
where is “the header” you are referring to?
do you mean into the Meta Discription?
see attached.

no. add a new line break on line 1, then add in
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
