Add noindex for specific query string

Hi @tejashapani-1

Are you facing internal site search links error from Google Search Console?

Yoast SEO automatically applies a?noindex?directive to your site search results page, which keeps these URLs out of Google. Even if you’re seeing this kind of data in Google Search Console, it’s not affecting your SEO.

Hi @611shabnam

Thanks for your reply.

We are not getting any error from GSC at the moment.

but we would like to set noindex for urls with such query string so that google will bypass such pages.

Is there any filter available to add noindex for query string like page-slug/?qs1=1 or page-slug/?qs1=2?

Thanks

Hi there,

As I said, Yoast SEO automatically applies a noindex directive to these queries, which keeps these URLs out of Google Search Engine Result Page.

You may consider using the Removals tool in Google Search Console. Log into your Google Search Console account and visit Removals under indexing.

Hi @josevarghese

Sorry for late reply.

but it’s not adding noindex/nofollow to some of the urls with query string like https://mydomain.com/page-slug/?qs1=1

Is there any hook/action available to filter out such query string?

Also is it possible to disallow feed urls?

for example, https://mydomain.com/post-type/feed/
