      I'm getting an error in Search Console that pages on my site show No: 'noindex' detected in 'robots' meta tag. However, when I inspect the pages html, it does not show noindex. In fact, it shows index, follow. Majority of pages show the error and are not indexed by Google...Not sure why this is happening. Unfortunately I can't post images on here but I've linked some url's below.

      The page below in search console shows the error above...

      https://mixeddigitaleduconsulting.com/

      As does this one.

      https://mixeddigitaleduconsulting.com/independent-school-marketing-communications/

      However, this page does not have the error and is indexed by Google. The meta robots tag looks identical.

      Any and all help is appreciated.

      • Google has deindexed a page it thinks is set to 'noindex', but is in fact still set to 'index'

      • Pages being flagged in Search Console as having a "no-index" tag, do not have a meta robots tag??

      • Are nofollow, noindex meta tags healthy for this particular situation?
