Sitemap Exclude not working nor is NOINDEX

Hi @sblocksidge,

I checked the source code of the page you mentioned and I can confirm that the “noindex” tag is already present on that page.

I also checked the XML Sitemap of your site and that URL is not present in your sitemap anymore.

Could you please try clearing all the cache on your end and let me know if you’re still facing the same issue?

I just cleared the cache! Not seeing anything change

Hi yes, sorry for the confusion, I am seeing that, but this page and others are still being indexed by Google, that’s the problem. We use this tool to ensure pages don’t get indexed, yet they still are:

Hi @sblocksidge,

Adding a “noindex” tag on a page will not immediately remove it from search results. You’ll need to wait for Google to crawl your page again and see that noindex tag. This can take some time, perhaps a few days or even weeks.

For quick removals, please use the?Removals tool?to remove a page hosted on your site from Google’s search results within a day.

Google has also mentioned this in their documentation here-
