Descripción
Search Snippet Control for Blocks adds a toggle within Advanced settings of supported blocks to add a data-nosnippet tag, which excludes that content from search snippets and AI answers. The plugin adds the toggle to these blocks:
- Group
- Columns
- Column
- Cover
- Media & Text
- Buttons
- Button
The switch is on by default, which leaves the block’s normal HTML unchanged. Turning it off adds data-nosnippet directly to the block’s existing div, section, or span root during server rendering.
The plugin is designed to be as lightweight as possible and never adds a wrapper. Paragraphs, Headings, Images, Lists, and other content blocks can be placed inside a Group or other supported block when an editor wants to exclude that section from search snippets and AI-generated answers.
Note that adding data-nosnippet does not change indexing or organic search visibility – only the wrapped contents’ eligibility for inclusion in snippets and AI answers.

Preguntas frecuentes
-
I can’t see the control for some blocks (Paragraph, Image etc.)
-
To avoid compatibility and/or layout issues, the toggle is only available on blocks that already use compatible
div,sectionorspanelements, where thedata-nosnippettag can be added. You can simply put the content you wish to exclude within a supported layout block such as a Group. -
Does this have an impact on SEO?
-
No, applying
data-nosnippetto page elements expressly only removes their eligibility for inclusion in search snippets and AI answers. All page content is still crawled and indexed as normal. -
My content is still being included in AI answers! Why?
-
Sometimes other plugins may output the entire page contents in the articleBody schema field without taking into account visibility controls, which renders on-page
data-nosnippettags useless. Unfortunately there’s nothing we can do about this – we would recommend contacting the plugin author and asking them to add support fordata-nosnippetexclusions.
