Map of visible and hidden

SEO index / noindex audit

Final check of which pages should enter search and which should remain internal rooms without indexing.

Search should see showcases and reference pages, not service rooms.

Split public and internal

Products, topics, demo-scrolls, seasonal, trust, legal, and learning pages are usually public. Admin, analytics, real-data, launch, support-ops, and internal QA are noindex.

  • Public list ready.
  • Internal list ready.
  • Sitemap reviewed.

Check metadata

Title/description should be unique, without fake claims and without promises of exact future.

  • No duplicate titles.
  • No guaranteed future copy.
  • No private content in OG.

Check route health

links:check, route:audit, and sitemap should confirm public pages are available and internal pages stay out of the showcase.

  • links:check green.
  • route:audit green.
  • Internal pages noindex.
