Overview
SEO Technical: Indexing Skill is an open-source Agent Skill from the kostja94/marketing-skills collection (MIT). It teaches AI coding agents focused marketing / SEO workflows so they can produce production-ready guidance instead of generic advice.
Guides indexing troubleshooting and fix actions. For how to find and diagnose issues in GSC, see google-search-console.
Identify issue from GSC (see google-search-console for Coverage report, issue types, diagnosis workflow). Then apply fix below.
Official skill id: indexing. Source path: skills/seo/technical/indexing.
Key Features
- F: ix actions: noindex, canonical, content quality, URL Inspection; verify robots.txt does not block (see robots-txt)
- N: oindex: Page-level index control; which pages to exclude and how. Complements robots-txt (path-level crawl control) and google-search-console (Coverage diagnosis)
- H: ow:
metadata.robots = { index: false }or<meta name="robots" content="noindex">or X-Robots-Tag - R: ationale: Not all site content should be indexed; noindex is a valid choice for many pages
- C: aution: Avoid noindex on important content pages
- W: ith robots.txt: robots.txt = path-level crawl control; noindex = page-level index control. Do not block noindex pages in robots.txt—crawlers must access the page to read the directive. Use both: robots for /admin/, /api/; noindex for /login/, /thank-you/, etc. See robots-txt for when to use which.
How to Use
