    Not sure but I think we could improve SEO if we deindex all /mitglieder (= /member) pages.
    Those pages get tiny traffic but are in index.
    Talking about pages like this:

    https://www.scheidungsinfo.at/mitglieder/mag-thomasloos/
    May I ask you about your opinion for that case?
    Thank you!

    GD has settings to set the meta data and titles for GD related pages; therefore GeoDirectory cannot be used to de-index BuddyPress pages.

    Some 3rd party SEO plugins like Yoast might have BuddyPress settings, or allow exclusion by url/slug, but if not then you can look into robots.txt

    A quick search on Google showed this: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-hide-a-wordpress-page-from-google/

    Hi Alex, Thank you very much for your support. Do you think it might help improving SEO if we de-index these pages?

    Probably a tiny bit… I don’t think you’ll really see any impact on your rankings though.
