SEO TIP
Utilizing the ‘no-index tag’ option adds SEO value by forcing Google to focus on the pages that you want the Google Bots to crawl and avoid those you don’t, such as :
a. Low-quality or ‘thin’ pages that you don’t want to delete
b. Pages created for other marketing purposes that you don’t wish to search users to land at (ex: online versions of email marketing, landing pages for social media, etc.)
c. Any page that you want to hide from the general public (ex: a page that you only want people with a specific link to be able to find, such as an event landing page)
d. User-generated content
