  • Lisa Brown: Wix? It`s got a meta noindex tag on every page. Get this removed.
  • Paul Thompson: The error you listed is quite specific about the problem. Your website has `Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’`. Just checking your homepage, it has a meta-noindex tag in the header. I`m assuming the rest of the site has it as well. You`re giving the search engines contradicting instructions. Asking for the pages to be indexed, while the pages themselves contain the requirement NOT to index them. You have to change the Wix setting to allow indexing of the website to get rid of the no-index tags in the header.
  • Matt Swanson: I check in Wix and all the pages are set to be indexed. However, when I submit the site map it is submitting 15 pages but only indexing 2.
  • Matt Swanson: It looks like google is still trying to index the old website pages. How do I get this resolved?
