Content SEO
Nosnippet
Nosnippet is a robots directive that asks search engines not to show a text snippet or video preview for a page in search results.
What it means
It can reduce how much content is displayed in the result preview. It does not remove the page from search results by itself.
Why it matters
It matters when a site wants tighter control over previewed content, although it can reduce click-through rate because users see less context.
Example
A page containing licensed content may use nosnippet to limit preview text.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes include using nosnippet broadly without measuring CTR impact or confusing it with Noindex.
