Add noindex to PhotoADKing Website and Remove Sitemap to Prevent Duplicate SEO Content
0%
Description
Intention
The goal is to prevent duplicate SEO content across multiple product websites and consolidate search visibility under the Designwiz platform.
Since PhotoADKing content overlaps with tools and templates that will be promoted under Designwiz, we need to ensure that search engines do not index PhotoADKing pages.
This will help:
Avoid SEO keyword cannibalization
Prevent duplicate content penalties
Consolidate ranking signals toward designwiz.com
Implementation
1. Add Noindex Directive (Sitewide)
Add the following meta tag inside the <head> section of all PhotoADKing pages:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">
This ensures:
Pages are not indexed by search engines
Crawlers can still follow links
2. Remove Sitemap
Since pages marked with noindex should not appear in sitemaps:
Remove all URLs from the existing sitemap
Alternatively remove the sitemap file entirely
Example:
photoadking.com/sitemap.xml → remove or disable
This avoids sending conflicting signals to search engines.
Outcome
After deployment:
PhotoADKing pages will not appear in search engine results
Search engines will still crawl links if needed
Duplicate SEO content across product websites will be reduced
Verification Steps
View page source and confirm the following tag exists in the <head> section:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">
Confirm the sitemap is removed or empty:
photoadking.com/sitemap.xml
Use Google Search Console → URL Inspection to verify pages are marked:
Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag
No data to display
