Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with Google indexing your articles that are set to noindex.
One possible reason for this could be that Google might have already indexed those articles before you set them to noindex. It’s essential to note that search engines like Google might take some time to update their index after you make changes like setting a page to noindex.
To ensure that Google doesn’t index these articles, you can follow these steps:
- Double-check that the articles are indeed set to noindex in your website settings.
- Use the Google Search Console’s URL Inspection Tool to check the indexing status of these articles. If they are still indexed, you can request a recrawl through the tool.
If the issue persists, you can reach out to our support team directly by clicking here. We are here to assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
As you recently set the pages to Noindex, please allow Google some time to recrawl the pages and remove them from SERPs. This time mostly depends on the crawl budget assigned by Google to your website.
If the issue persists, you can share some affected URLs with us so that we can check them from our end.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
