This will add a “noindex” tag to your collection pages, preventing them from being indexed by search engines.

WooCommerce (WordPress)

In WooCommerce, you can achieve this by using a plugin like Yoast SEO. Follow these steps:

  1. Install and activate the Yoast SEO plugin.
  2. Go to SEO > Search Appearance.
  3. Navigate to the Taxonomies tab.
  4. Find the Product categories and Product tags sections.
  5. Set the Show Product categories in search results? and Show Product tags in search results? options to No.

This will add a “noindex” tag to your WooCommerce archive pages, preventing them from being indexed by search engines.
