Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the soft 404 and noindex errors on your website. It can be quite frustrating to deal with these indexing issues, especially when you’re new to this field.
Here are a few steps you can take to address the situation:
-
Review Flagged Pages: Ensure that the pages flagged as soft 404 or noindex contain substantial and relevant content. If they are placeholder or empty pages, consider adding meaningful content or removing them altogether.
-
Check Redirects: Make sure that your 301 redirects are correctly set up and pointing to relevant pages. If you have set up 410 status codes, ensure that they are being recognized by Google.
-
Use Google Search Console: In Google Search Console, check the specific pages that are still showing errors. Click on the error status to see which pages are affected and take appropriate action based on their content and status.
-
Monitor Changes: After making changes, it may take some time for Google to re-crawl your site and update the status in Search Console. Keep monitoring the situation over the next few weeks.
-
Consult Documentation: For more detailed guidance on fixing soft 404 errors, you can refer to our guide here.
