SEO Technical: Indexing

Guides indexing troubleshooting and fix actions. For how to find and diagnose issues in GSC, see google-search-console.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope (Technical SEO)

Fix actions: noindex, canonical, content quality, URL Inspection; verify robots.txt does not block (see robots-txt)
Noindex: Page-level index control; which pages to exclude and how. Complements robots-txt (path-level crawl control) and google-search-console (Coverage diagnosis)

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for site URL and indexing goals.

Identify issue from GSC (see google-search-console for Coverage report, issue types, diagnosis workflow). Then apply fix below.

Crawled - Currently Not Indexed

Cause	Action
Low quality, duplicate, off-topic	Improve content, fix duplicates, set correct canonical
Static assets (CSS/JS)	See below
Feed, share URLs with params	Usually OK to ignore; or noindex, canonical to main URL
Important content pages	Use URL Inspection, verify canonical/internal links/sitemap, Request indexing

Static Assets (Next.js / Vercel)

Vercel adds unique dpl= params to static assets per deploy, creating many "Crawled - currently not indexed" URLs.

Do	Don't
Keep robots.txt allowing `/_next/`	Do not block `/_next/` (breaks CSS/JS loading). See robots-txt
Accept static assets in GSC as expected	Do not block `/_next/static/css/` or `?dpl=`
Use X-Robots-Tag for static assets	CSS/JS should not be indexed; no SEO impact

Static assets in "Crawled - currently not indexed" is normal and expected.

Other Issue Types (from GSC Coverage)

Issue	Fix
Excluded by «noindex» tag	Remove noindex if accidental; keep if intentional
Blocked by robots.txt	See robots-txt; remove Disallow for important paths
Redirect / 404	Fix URL or add redirect
Duplicate / Canonical	Set correct canonical; usually OK
Soft-404	Page returns 200 but content says "not found" or empty—Google may treat as 404. Fix: return 404 status for truly missing pages; or add real content for 200 pages

Soft-404

A soft-404 occurs when a page returns HTTP 200 but the content indicates the page doesn't exist (e.g. "Page not found" message, empty state). Google may treat it as 404 and exclude from index.

Fix	When
Return 404	Page truly doesn't exist; use proper 404 status
Add content	Page is intentional (e.g. empty search results); ensure substantive content or use noindex
Redirect	If URL moved, use 301 to correct destination

Noindex Usage

How: metadata.robots = { index: false } or <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> or X-Robots-Tag
Rationale: Not all site content should be indexed; noindex is a valid choice for many pages
Caution: Avoid noindex on important content pages
With robots.txt: robots.txt = path-level crawl control; noindex = page-level index control. Do not block noindex pages in robots.txt—crawlers must access the page to read the directive. Use both: robots for /admin/, /api/; noindex for /login/, /thank-you/, etc. See robots-txt for when to use which.
nofollow ≠ noindex: nofollow controls link equity only; it does not prevent indexing. To exclude from search, use noindex. See page-metadata for meta robots implementation.

Page Types That Typically Need Noindex

Category	Page Types	Typical Meta	Reason
Auth & Account	Login, Signup, Password reset, Account dashboard	Login: `noindex,nofollow`; Signup: `noindex,follow`	No search value; login indexed = security risk; signup follow allows crawl of Privacy/Terms links
Admin & Private	Admin, Staging, Test pages, Internal tools	`noindex,nofollow`	Not for public; avoid discovery
Conversion Endpoints	Thank-you, Confirmation, Checkout success, Download gate	`noindex,follow`	Post-conversion; no SERP value; allow link equity
System & Utility	404, Internal search results, Faceted/filter URLs	`noindex,follow` or `noindex,nofollow`	Thin/duplicate; 404 = error state
Legal	Privacy, Terms, Cookie Policy (optional)	Often `noindex,follow`	Low-value indexed; reduces clutter
Duplicate & Thin	Printer-friendly, Parameter URLs, Near-duplicate	`noindex,follow` or canonical	Duplicate content; canonical preferred when possible
Low-Value	Media kit, Feedback board (external), Thin press	`noindex` or index for brand queries	Case-by-case

noindex,follow vs noindex,nofollow: Use noindex,follow for most cases—excludes from SERP but allows link equity. Use noindex,nofollow only for login (security), staging, or temporary test pages.

Google Indexing API

Type	Typical use
JobPosting	Job boards
BroadcastEvent	Live platforms

Requirements: Enable Indexing API, create service account, add owner in Search Console, request quota (default 200 URLs/day).

how to use indexing

How to use indexing on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add indexing

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills --skill indexing

The skills CLI fetches indexing from GitHub repository kostja94/marketing-skills and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────

│ • Amp

│ • Antigravity

│ • Cline

│ • Codex

│ ●Cursor(selected)

│ • Cursor

│ • Windsurf

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/indexing

Reload or restart Cursor to activate indexing. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /indexing) or your agent's skill management interface.

⚠

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.
