Typeform form pages are indexed, but main website is not ranking any SEO tips?

Hi everyone,

I recently created some forms using Typeform and embedded them on my WordPress site, but I am facing a strange SEO issue.

My website is around 4 months old and it is already getting impressions in Google Search Console, but almost no queries are coming. Some Typeform-based pages are indexed, but my main site pages are not improving in rankings.

 

I have already submitted sitemap in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

I wanted to ask:

  • Does embedding Typeform affect page SEO or indexing in any way?

  • Should I use noindex on Typeform URLs or keep them indexable?

  • What are the best practices to use Typeform without hurting organic rankings?

Any suggestions from your experience would be really helpful.

Hey ​@Hellen54302 ​@davidwarner46 thanks for reaching out here, it’s not a question we often see so I wanted to speak to a few experts before replying! 

Embedding a typeform won’t effect the SEO of your website, they are two different URLs so the search engine will treat your page separately from the embedded typeform URL. 

Typeforms themselves can be made indexable when you enable “Show in search results?” in the form’s Share panel, which controls whether search engines can index the standalone Typeform URL. This doesn’t stop your own site pages from being indexed and does not directly affect how your WordPress pages rank, because they’re on different domains.

Choosing whether to index Typeform URLs:
If your main goal is to grow your WordPress site’s organic traffic: you can safely leave Typeform’s “Show in search results?” off (default). Your embedded forms will still work perfectly; only the standalone Typeform URL will be noindex.

If you have specific campaigns where the Typeform URL is the landing page: you can enable indexing for those particular forms so they can appear in search results as well.

 

Hope that helps clarify some things, let us know how you get on 😊

      I’m encountering a very similar issue. I also embedded Typeform forms on my WordPress site and noticed that while some form-related pages get indexed, my main content pages don’t seem to gain much traction in search results. The site shows impressions but barely any meaningful queries, which is confusing. I’ve been wondering the same things about whether Typeform embeds affect SEO or if there’s a best practice around indexing or noindexing those URLs. Would be great to hear how others have handled this and what’s worked for them.

          I’m encountering a very similar issue. I also embedded Typeform forms on my morse code WordPress site and noticed that while some form-related pages get indexed, my main content pages don’t seem to gain much traction in search results. The site shows impressions but barely any meaningful queries, which is confusing. I’ve been wondering the same things about whether Typeform embeds affect SEO or if there’s a best practice around indexing or noindexing those URLs. Would be great to hear how others have handled this and what’s worked for them.

          It’s reassuring to know that embedded Typeforms don’t directly affect the SEO or indexing of the host WordPress pages, and that search engines treat the two URLs separately. The explanation around the “Show in search results?” option is especially useful, as I wasn’t fully clear that it only applies to the standalone Typeform URL and not the embedded version. Based on this, it sounds like leaving Typeform URLs noindexed makes sense for my use case, since my primary goal is growing organic traffic to the main site rather than ranking the forms themselves.

          I’ll focus more on improving on-page content, internal linking, and overall site signals on the WordPress side, and treat Typeform purely as a conversion tool rather than an SEO asset. Thanks again for the detailed response and for clearing up the confusion 😊
