Sitemap & NoIndex Manager

What is Sitemap & NoIndex Manager?

Sitemap & NoIndex Manager gives you complete control over your Shopify generated XML sitemap and NoIndex, NoFollow meta tags.

Applying NoIndex will tell search engines not to crawl those pages and stops them being indexed.

The app features various different options, for example, if you just want to NoIndex a page without removing it from the sitemap, you can do so.

You can also use this app to hide objects from your stores internal search so if you don't want customers to search for certain products you can do so with this app.

NoIndex Any URL

We've recently added a new feature that gives you the ability to NoIndex pretty much any URL. So if you can't find what you're looking for in the app i.e a custom URL with filters etc you can save this URL in the app and we will NoIndex it for you!

NoIndex URLs that contain certain words

You can set rules up so you can NoIndex URLs that contain certain words, for example if you want to NoIndex any URL that contain the word 'test-product' you can do so within the app!

NoIndex duplicate product URLs

Shopify generates numerous URLs for the same main product page, for example:
example.com/products/my-product-name (main product page)

Other URLs are generated that go to the same product page and causes duplicate content e.g.
example.com/collections/my-collection-name/products/my-product-name (duplicate URL that goes to the same product page)

So example.com/my-collection-name/frontpage/products/my-product-name will get NoIndexed and the main product page will remain indexed.

What options do I have?

Sitemap + NoIndex + NoFollow + Search:
- This will remove the object from your Shopify generated XML sitemap, apply NoIndex, NoFollow.
- This will make sure it will not get indexed by search engines.
- This will also make sure objects are not searchable through your stores internal search.

NoIndex + NoFollow:
- This will apply NoIndex and NoFollow.
- This will make sure it will not get indexed by search engines.
- Objects will still be searchable through your stores internal search.

NoIndex + Follow:
- This will just apply NoIndex but allow links to be followed.
- Objects will still be searchable through your stores internal search.

How will this app benefit my store?

Managing your sitemap is very important for SEO reasons. A sitemap is a document full of links to pages, products, blog articles and other content that helps search engines crawl your store and index it into its search results. It helps with search engine optimisation by making it easier for search engines to organise and find content on your store.

You may not want all pages being indexed because there can be many different versions of the same page which causes duplicate content issues. Your store can be penalised and have its ranking lowered as a result of duplicate content. By using our app you can exclude pages from your sitemap and apply NoIndex, NoFollow to them so search engines stay away, safeguarding your stores rankings.

This app will also benefit your store if you want to hide certain products from being searchable via your stores internal search, for example if you have a product that you only want to advertise elsewhere and not searchable through your store, you have that option!

Fix Duplicate Content Issues

This app will also help you fix duplicate content issues your store maybe facing, resulting in lower rankings and being penalised by Google.
