Search Engine Indexing

How to turn on search engine indexing for your public Slite docs.

Search engine indexing is what enables Google and other search engines to allow your site to show up organically in searches. You can only search engine index pages that are publicly shared on the web via a  ⁠⁠Public Link⁠ .

Enabling search engine indexing

To enable search engine indexing, follow the steps below:
Click the Share button on the channel or doc.
Toggle "Shared to web" on.

Red Question MarkFAQ

I've enabled search engine indexing on my doc, but the source code still shows a no-index tag.

It is correct that even when your doc is shared publicly and has search engine indexing enabled, there will still be no-index tag showing when you check the source code of your doc. This is because we present a different, more optimized version of your doc to search engines. This version does not include the no-index tag.
