How to Stop Shopify Tag Collections from Appearing on Google
Managing your Shopify store's SEO effectively is crucial for online visibility and traffic. If you use tags on your products, you’ll want to read on.One often overlooked aspect is the role of 'noindex' tags in optimising your store's tag collections. <strong id="">Why? </strong>Because Shopify has a habit of creating collections for each new tag you create on your site. Let’s say you’re a brand that sells body products. You may have a collection called ‘Body Wash’ but also a product tag called ‘Body Wash’. Guess what that means? You now have two collections called Body Wash - one you created and one automatically created by the tag. As you may be aware, duplicate pages are bad for SEO (e.g. competing against each other, duplicate content). To make it even worse, editing a ‘tag’ collection is a real pain in the neck.To solve this, you’ll want to add a ‘noindex’ to the tag pages - meaning that Google won’t list those pages. Applying 'noindex' directives can enhance your SEO by preventing search engines from indexing pages that might dilute your SEO efforts.
