I want to hide a specific page from being searchable from the site search or search engines

Topic summary

Hide a form page from on-site search and search engines to keep it accessible only via post-purchase emails.

Recommended approach: Use Shopify-provided metafields (custom metadata fields) to exclude the page from site search and to prevent robots (search engine crawlers) from crawling/indexing it. Configure these settings via the Custom Data section in the Shopify admin.

Implementation resource: A YouTube tutorial link was shared with step-by-step instructions; the video is central to understanding the setup.

Outcome: The requester learned about the Custom Data section, appreciated the guidance, and indicated they will proceed with this method.

Status: Resolved; no disagreements or open questions noted.

Hello,

We are planning a post-purchase email campaign directing customers to a form page to send us video reviews. I do not want this page to be stumbled upon so I was wondering how I can hide it from site searches and from search engines indexing it.

Any help on this? Thanks!!!

Hi @pnut78 ,

Shopify has provided the specific metafields to hide the pages from search and robots so that they don’t crawl these pages.

Request you to refer the instruction to implement the same.

Thank you for your thorough video. I didn’t even know about the Custom Data section or how it works, but this opens a whole new world of options so I thank you and appreciate your help!
