Should I noindex pages on my website that are pulled from an API integration

[monica.arklay]

SEO/Moz newbie here! My organisation's website (dyob.com.au), uses an API integration to pull through listings that are shown in the site search. There is a high volume of these, all of which only contain a title, image and contact information for the business.

I can see these pages coming up on my Moz accounts with issues such as duplicate content (even if they are different) or no description. We don't have the capacity to fill these pages with content. Here's an example: https://www.dyob.com.au/products/nice-buns-by-yomg

I am looking for a recommendation on how to treat these pages. Are they likely to be hurting the sites SEO? We do rank for some of these pages. Should they be noindex pages?

TIA!

Hi,

I don't see any big problems with an API integration like this. There is a lot of companies that are using data from other content providers (through an API) that you are in most cases mostly looking at how you can enrich that content. That's why I would leave the pages indexed and make work of enriching the pages with as much other (more unique) content as possible.

Martijn.
