    I successfully uploaded my sitemaps for a new clients site to google search console but when I test the URL i keep getting an error

    ‘noindex’ detected in ‘robots’ meta tag

    I unchecked the box in the reading settings that discourages indexing

    last crawl was about ten minutes ago so i’m not sure why it wont work

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hey @trenttarala,

    Thank you for reaching out. We understand you are confused about a noindex meta tag.

    Just to clarify, you mentioned uploaded sitemaps, we do recommend just to submit your sitemap_index.xml sitemap as explained here https://yoast.com/help/submit-sitemap-search-engines/.

    Second, can you let us know what URL(s) were mentioned as noindex so we can check?

    That is how I submitted the sitemaps and on google search console it says it was submitted successfully

    When i “test live url” for [ redundant link removed ] it keeps sending that same error

    hope that helps

    We checked your sitemap and homepage URL, but your homepage does not have a noindex meta tag, but a default index one:

    <meta name='robots' content='index, follow, max-image-preview:large, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-1' />

    We are not sure why Google would be seeing a noindex on the page. We would recommend waiting up to 48 hours so Google can recrawl it at a later time, and if it continues to show incorrect feedback after that, we’d recommend reaching out to Google webmaster forums to ask this.

    We are going ahead and mark this topic as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance, feel free to create a new topic. Thank you!
