<p>In response to a Reddit inquiry, Google&#8217;s John Mueller clarified if it is OK to no-index a webpage in order to prevent it from appearing in sitelinks.</p>



<p>Sitelinks, which are grouped links in the search results from a single domain, is often displayed when someone searches for a website&#8217;s name or URL.</p>



<p>A link to one of the real estate agent&#8217;s webpage was included in the sitelinks for the real estate website in question. The person who posed the query believed that Google need to choose what they deemed to be a more significant page to show in the sitelinks.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-noindex-a-website-to-get-rid-of-sitelinks">Noindex a Website to Get Rid of Sitelinks?</h2>



<p>A Noindex meta tag is a mandate, and as such, search engines are required to abide by it. When a meta Noindex tag is present, search engines must remove a webpage from their index. In fact, Google advises taking this strategy to remove a page from <a href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/block-indexing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sitelinks by using a Noindex.</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Indexing Unrelated to Ranking?</h2>



<p>There are numerous components to search engines. In a simple way, there is an indexing engine, which is the portion of the Googlebot that travels about. Scans the internet, and gathers website content for potential inclusion in Google&#8217;s index. A ranking engine is also present.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Do Google&#8217;s Sitelinks Display Less Desirable Pages?</h2>



<p>Google provides a list of actions that publishers can take to prevent less desired pages from appearing in sitelinks. According to the sitelinks documentation, you should:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>&#8220;Be careful to utilise interesting, pertinent, and condensed content for your page headers and headings.</li>



<li>Create a user-friendly, logical site layout, and be sure to connect to your vital sites from other pages that are similarly pertinent.</li>



<li>Make sure that the anchor text for your internal links is clear and appropriate for the page they are leading to.</li>



<li>In your text, avoid repeats.</li>
</ul>
