Disable Indexing adds a noindex meta tag to every page published on a domain, so search engines leave them out of their results. It applies to the whole domain, not to individual pages.

Where to find it

Open Settings > Domains, click the three-dot menu (…) next to the domain, and select Settings. The toggle is at the top of the General tab.
The General tab of domain settings, showing the Disable Indexing toggle
Turn Disable Indexing on and click Save. To allow indexing again, turn it off and save.
Settings is only available once a domain is Active.

When to use it

  • A domain used only for paid traffic, which you do not want ranking organically.
  • Staging or test domains.
  • Any domain you want to keep out of the public search index.
Search engines only pick this up the next time they crawl your domain, so pages already indexed can take a while to disappear from results.
