Choose whether your public Portal appears in search engine results.
Only Owners and Admins can change Portal search engine visibility.
Understanding search engine indexing
When your Portal is indexable:
Search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) can find it
It may appear in search results
Anyone can discover it by searching
When your Portal is not indexable:
Search engines are told not to index it
It won't appear in search results
Only people with the direct link can find it
Configuring search visibility
Open a Portal's Share Settings
Ensure public access is enabled
Enable or disable search engine indexing
When to allow indexing
Allow indexing for:
Public brand resource centers
Press kit portals you want journalists to find
Content meant for broad discovery
Community resource hubs
Block indexing for:
Partner-only content
Pre-release materials
Client-specific Portals
Anything meant for limited audiences
How Portal indexing affects Kits
Kits and Portals have separate and independent SEO settings. Enabling search engin indexing for a Portal does not automatically make its Kits indexable, and vice versa. For maximum visibility in search engines, ensure both the Portal and its Kits are set to allow indexing.

Previously indexed content may remain in search results temporarily (turning off public access or enabling a password will immediately stop access)
