2. Go to the SEO tab
3. Scroll down to the Miscellaneous section
4. Set Disable Subdomain Indexing to "Yes"
5. Click Save Changes
6. Publish your site

How to prevent your entire site, a page, or folder of pages from being indexed:

1. Open your Site Settings
2. Go to the SEO tab
3. Scroll down to the Miscellaneous section
4. Add robots.txt rules:
   Entire site:
   User-agent: * 
   Disallow: /
   Individual pages:
   User-agent: *
   Disallow: /page-name
   Entire folder of pages:
   User-agent: *
   Disallow: /folder-name
5. Click Save Changes
6. Publish your site
