    Hi,

    I have created a form with name Kiosk Order form in jotform. After some time I noticed that this form is crawled over google.

    Also, I want the page on which this form is embedded should crawl but not the form.

    You can see the form which is crawled over google in the below-given URL.


    Could you please help me how can I fix it?

    Hi Priyatamkr,

    Thank you for contacting Support.

    It is possible if your website or blog is being indexed by Google. The traffic that your website generates and the specific pages of it will crawl up on the Google search results especially if it is frequently being visited by users.

    Here's a guide from Google on how to prevent your page from being indexed in their results: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93710?hl=en

    However, please note that if your website is accessed publicly by anyone, then there is a great chance that it will still be visible on other search engines.

    I hope that helps.

    Hi Sam_G,

    Thanks for the quick response


    I don't want to block the crawling of pages on which the form is embedded. I want that Only form should not crawl.

    Please let me know how can we fix this?

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to block the crawling of the form only. Once you embed a form to the website it will be searched and available online and be indexed by Google or any search engines.
