    Hi,

    Im new to SEO and having a hard time to make google search show the page that i wanted.

    1. im using Yoast SEO and have turned off “Redirect attachment URLs to the attachment itself?”. As there is link to the image in google search so i thought that this might be the case but it still keep showing link to image.

    2. i only want to show 6 page in google search and i have set “Allow search engines to show this Page in search results?” to “No” to all the pages that i did not want to show in search result but it does not seems to work that way.

    i did create any robots.txt for this. If anyone could lend me a hand on the issues i will be extremely grateful. Let me know if there’s any more info needed for this particular issues.

    Thanks.

    Hi @midi15,

    We understand that you only want 6 pages of your website to be shown in the search results. We have addressed your issues below.

    1. Redirect attachment URLs to the attachment itself?
    In most cases, we recommend keeping this feature enabled. If your media attachment pages are not customized and have more content than a media file, then it would be best to redirect the attachment URLs to the attachment itself.

    We recommend checking out this guide on what media attachment pages are and how to handle them.

    2. Allow search engines to show this Page in search results?

    If you have selected No at SEO → Search Appearance, when asked if you want to “Allow search engines to show this Page in search results?”, then none of your pages will be shown in the search results.

    We understand you’re looking aiming to have 6 pages in the Google search results. If so, you have proceeded correctly by noindexing the other pages. However, please note that this process is not instant.

    After you add the noindex to a URL (as you have done by setting “Allow search engines to show this Page in search results?” to “No”), it will take some time until Google removes these pages from its index. We generally recommend waiting for up to 2 weeks to see if the pages have been removed from Google index, although the time can be longer if you noindex many pages at once.

    We hope to have cleared things up for you and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions.
