Noindex vs Disallow: What’s the Difference?

➡ Noindex: Tells search engines not to show a page in search results but still allows them to visit the page. Use this for pages you want visible to users but hidden from search engines.
➡ Disallow: Blocks search engines from visiting the page entirely. Use this for private or irrelevant pages (like admin files) that shouldn’t be crawled or indexed.

💡 Tip: Noindex hides content, while Disallow locks the door. Use both strategically for better SEO control! 🚀

Core updates happen frequently and can have significant changes to Google’s search algorithms and systems. If you are hit by a core update, start by looking at your content quality (is your content insightful, original, substantial, trustworthy, and does it present well) before making any significant changes to your site.

If you want to stand out in SERPs, optimise for rich results. ⌨️
Rich results (also known as rich snippets) provide additional information such as reviews, stock availability, pricing, and even delivery and return information.

How rich snippets help SEO 🔥
Rich snippets do not directly affect your ranking, but they are visually appealing, which could lead to more clicks. A recipe page may for example show the cooking time for a recipe, which could result in more clicks to that page compared to a result that does not include the cooking time.

How to get rich snippets 🧐
1. Choose the type of rich snippet (there are many types, such as product, recipe, FAQ, review, events, and so on)
2. Create and add structured data to your pages. This can be done with Google’s Structured Data Markup Helper
3. Validate your structured data with Google’s Rich Results Testing tool

Not sure how to optimise for rich results? We can help. Ask Liz about our SEO solutions.

In the coming weeks, we will show you how to get ahead of the "zero-click search" trend. For now, it is important to realise that people use Google to find information, and that the SERPs may provide just enough when the query is easily answered.
