Hi! I received an alert from google search console saying they excluded a page from indexation, and when I look at the page it’s spam publicity: [MVUILL_0-1663842242468.png] URL : https://www.french-address.com/collections/vendors?q=Buy%20FUT%2023%20coins%2C%20Cheap%20FIFA%2023%20coins%20for%20s…

Hi @MVUILL I can definitely understand your concern! Based on the URL you shared it looks like this might be a collection created within your admin or possible from the new Shopify Collabs service.
