# Audit all noindex pages

An incorrect `noindex` tag can completely remove important pages from search results, while proper usage helps manage crawl budget and prevents duplicate content issues.

## Quick Reference

- Identify all pages using the `noindex` directive in meta tags or headers
- Verify that critical pages (products, articles) aren't accidentally blocked
- Ensure `noindex` is correctly applied to thin content, admin, or utility pages

## Check

Verify that the `noindex` directive is only applied to pages that should not appear in search results.

## Fix

Remove `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">` from pages that should be indexed and ranking.

## Explain

Explain the difference between `noindex` and `disallow` in robots.txt and when to use each for optimal SEO.

## Code Review

Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to Audit all noindex pages. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.
