Question about Search Console properties
Posted by on January 23, 2026 at 6:18 pmI'm launching a couple of sites with subdomains and the main site is on the main domain. I don't want some subdomains to index so those have noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet, disallow.
When creating the search console property, should I pick Domain Property or URL-Prefix Property?
If I choose domain would it send the signal to index all subdomains, even those I don't want to?
Thanks in advance!

The way I understand it, each subdomain is a website on it’s own.

I’m not sure what you’re asking, but generally the properties are just the way that pages from your site are shown in Search Console, it doesn’t have to do with causing indexing.
Also, if you disallow a URL with robots.txt, then search engines can’t see the meta tag.
