Google has told platforms that generate pages from shared links, such as no-code website builders, landing page tools, and AI content generators, to set those pages to noindex by default. This sits inside Google's updated spam guidance, alongside new alerts appearing in Search Console that flag platform-generated pages specifically.
If your business uses these kinds of tools, this matters more than it looks. Many businesses in Oman run landing pages through builders like Framer, Notion, Carrd, or AI site generators, often without touching the technical settings. Until now, those pages were usually indexed by default. Under the new guidance, that default flips. A page you built last month to promote an offer or a new service could quietly stop appearing in Google search, even though nothing on the page itself has changed.
The fix is not complicated, but it needs checking rather than guessing. Google is not removing your ability to be indexed, it is just no longer assuming you want it.
Before the end of November, go through every platform-built page tied to your business and confirm its indexing status directly, rather than trusting what it was set to before.
What to do about it
- Check Search Console this week for new indexing alerts on your domain
- List every page built via a link-sharing, no-code, or AI content tool
- Open each platform's settings and confirm whether indexing is on or off
- Manually enable indexing for any page you want found on Google
- Recheck search visibility for those pages after a few weeks
