Overview
This extension gives you rule-based control over robots meta directives in Magento 2. You can noindex pages by route or path pattern, noindex parameterized URLs such as filtered category results, and apply hostname-based protection so a staging domain is never indexed.
What this extension does
- Robots meta directives applied by route or path rule.
- Noindex handling for parameterized URLs such as filter and sort combinations.
- Hostname-based staging protection.
Requirements
- Magento 2.4.x (Open Source or Adobe Commerce).
- PHP: >=8.1 (as declared by the published package).
- A current Toweringmedia license and Composer credentials for
https://composer.toweringmedia.com/. - Requires
toweringmedia/module-search-intelligence-core— Composer installs it automatically.

Configuration
- Stores > Configuration > Towering Media > SEO Indexation Rules (config section
seo_indexation_rules), groupgeneral. - Shortcut: Intelligence SEO Suite > Indexation Rules opens the same configuration section.
Basic usage and what to expect
- Add rules for the routes or path patterns that should not be indexed.
- Flush cache, then view the page source of an affected URL and confirm the robots meta tag reads as intended.
- Verify a normal product and category page still say index,follow before leaving it in place.
Notes and limitations
- Rules here directly affect whether Google indexes your pages. A rule that is too broad can deindex sections of the store, so verify the rendered robots tag on real URLs after every change.
Validation checklist
bin/magento module:statusshows the module(s) as enabled.- Extension configuration saves without errors in Admin.
- The admin screens listed above are reachable and load without error.
- Expected storefront/admin behavior is present after a cache flush.
- No critical PHP/JS errors appear in
var/log/during the primary test flow.
Troubleshooting
- Composer cannot find the package: confirm the
https://composer.toweringmedia.com/repository and your credentials are present inauth.json, and that your license covers this package. - Feature not visible: verify module status, flush cache, and redeploy static content.
- Admin setting not applying: clear cache and confirm the config scope (default / website / store view).
- Unexpected behavior: retest with only the required related modules enabled.
