SEO and Google Indexing

[Anonymous]

Are Marketo landing pages SEO'd and indexed on Google?

Thanks,
Carleigh

You can actually control whether they are or not. In the landing page designer, under landing page actions, is an option to edit the page meta tags. Here, you can control whether the page is indexed and/or followed.

Hey Drew,

Are you able to validate if Google does crawl or index the Marketo Landing pages?

I suppose you could search some sample phrases to confirm. Other than that, there's probably an SEO tool out there to confirm the index/follow settings. Maybe something like this: http://www.northcutt.com/tools/free-seo-tools/google-indexed-pages-checker/

Thanks Drew.  However, some sites ask for the site domain, that wouldn't really work with a CNAME?

Michelle,

try searching for site:[subdomain].[domain].com on google.  For example, if your marketo subdomain is pages, you might search for
site:pages.irei.com

Steven, that's a good suggestion.  I do that for our regular site, but I didn't even think to do that for the Marketo landing pages.  Found it under our other subdomain and it works!
