Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
You could use that plugin together with Rank Math and I think it would be a good idea in your case.
With that plugin, you can hide those pages/posts from users when they search on the website.
With Rank Math, you can prevent those posts and pages to be indexed on Google results.
So, it seems you will have a nice synergy between those two.
To do that, make sure the post is not selected as ‘noindex’ in WP > Posts > Your Post > Advanced Tab in Rank Math.

Thank you.
Why not check No Follow, No Image Index and and No Archive?
I thought when you checked No Index you were hiding the pages from the users TOO?
Thx
Hi,
Choosing noindex only hides the post from bots. Users can still see them if they have the link or if you are linking to that URL from anywhere from your website.
When you choose noindex, checking others is not required because when a post is set to noindex, none of the information will make it into search index.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
