How to implement 'noindex' tags on specific pages using Liquid

This how to guide provides detailed instructions on how to apply noindex tags to specific pages using Liquid within the StoreConnect platform. By following these steps, you can control which pages are indexed by search engines, enhancing your site’s SEO management.

Step 1: locate the global content section

Navigate to the Stores tab and find the Global Content Section. Here, you can either select an existing content block linked to the “Head Content” field or create a new content block by clicking to edit.

Step 2: edit the head content block

In the head content block, insert the Liquid template code provided below and ensure you customize it according to your needs.

{% assign noindex_pages = "omnico,/omnico/conservation,/omnico/products/water-conservation" | split:"," %}
{% assign path_to_check = current_request.path | strip_newlines | strip %}
{% assign is_noindex = false %}
{% for page in noindex_pages %}
  {% if page == path_to_check %}
    {% assign is_noindex = true %}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if is_noindex %}

{% endif %}

Step 3: modifying the Liquid code

To customize the above template:

• Replace the values in noindex_pages with the paths of the pages or products you wish to exclude from indexing (e.g., “/your-page-slug”).
• Ensure each path accurately reflects the URL structure of your website.

Step 4: save changes and verify

After saving the content block, visit the web page to ensure the “noindex” meta tag is present. Use the search function in most browsers to look for the term “noindex.”, this may require a simple page refresh to view the page’s source code for the presence of the noindex meta tag.

If the “noindex” meta tag is visible, the setup for non-indexing specific pages is successful.
