Hector, please make sure only pages, posts, and authors archives are indexed in the client's sitemap.
Let's avoid having everything being listed in the sitemap. Once this is done, we can verify via the search console.
Here's the video for it.
Good day to you. As I mentioned in another task.......
Crawling and indexing are two different things, requiring two different steps.
When you have a paid ad, the page cannot be blocked from crawls.
This is irrespective of whether or not the page is being blocked from being indexed.
Coincidentally, a page can be crawled even though it is not indexed or is prevented from being indexed. The only thing Google ads worries about is that there are no policy issues on the LPs or the ads themselves.
The best way to look a this is that a page is crawled by Google to be inspected to make sure it complies.
A page is indexed only to be marked as ready for those looking for that in future searches.
Having said all of this, it is always better to have LPS marked as indexable for trust issues.
Appreciate you!
I will let them know tomorrow during our meeting.
It is a catch 22 with things like this.
