Q: Quick question
Hi, I have a question about Google indexing.
If I set a certain category on my website to “members-only” — meaning the full content is accessible only to paying members — is it still possible for that page to be indexed by Google and appear in search results?
Ideally, I’d like the page to be visible on Google, with just a preview (e.g., the first paragraph) available to everyone. Then, users would need to subscribe or pay to access the full content.
Is this possible? If so, how should I configure it?

For your request, ensure when setting up the content protection rule, you have post excerpt displayed before the “restricted message”
