What is Indexifembedded?
Indexifembedded is a new meta robots value announced by Google in January 2022.
The new robots value indexifembedded can be used to indicate that the contents of a resource should be indexed if they are embedded in a webpage, even if there is also a robots noindex present.
Today, we're introducing a new robots tag,
indexifembedded, that brings you more control over when your content is indexed. With theindexifembeddedtag, you can tell Google you'd still like your content indexed when it's embedded throughiframesand similar HTML tags in other pages, even when the content page has thenoindextag.The
indexifembeddedtag addresses a common issue that especially affects media publishers: while they may want their content indexed when it's embedded on third-party pages, they don't necessarily want their media pages indexed on their own. Because they don't want the media pages indexed, they currently use anoindextag in such pages. However, thenoindextag also prevents embedding the content in other pages during indexing.
