# SEO indexing preferences for secondary variants of A/B testing

Setting Shopify’s seo.hidden meta field to '1' for secondary collection variants created by Tagalys will perform the following.

1. Sets noindex and nofollow meta tags to variant collections.
2. Hides variants from the sitemap.
3. Hides variants from Shopify-powered search suggestions.

The secondary variants might still be included in the /collections page. Please refer to the[integration documentation](https://www.notion.so/Tagalys-A-B-testing-for-Shopify-collections-Setup-Liquid-8a8769e50fc34cc0a3a2bb0aba94b66f?pvs=21) to remove the variants from this page.
