What to do if your site is erroneously marked as frank in the results of the search in Google

Many users prefer that outright content (for example, sexual and graphically cruel) does not display in the search results. Safesearch settings in Google provide users with the opportunity to filter outright content. However, sometimes our systems can be mistakenly noted by another content as frank (for example, content that is more nuanced or slightly hinting, such as underwear sites, sex education, massage sites, candid materials), which can lead to its incorrect filter Safhesearch. This guide explains how to determine if your site was mistakenly marked as frank in the results of Google’s search, and how to solve the most common errors.

How to determine if your Safesearch site is filtered in Google

Initially, check if Safesearch filters several pages or your entire site to understand how the problem is manifested and how to correct it correctly:

• Check the specific page: to find out if a specific page is marked on your site as frank:
• Make sure Safesearch is turned off.
• Look for the term by which your page appears in the search results.
• Turn on the filter Safesearch. If you no longer see your page in the results, it is likely to be filtered by Safesearch for this request.
• Check the entire site: to find out if your entire site is filtered, use the operator site: To search for your site in the results. Then turn on the Safesearch. If your site is no longer displayed, this means that Google filters your site with Safesearch on.
• Make changes on your website, if necessary: after you determine how the problem is manifested, read the list of common errors and correct those that are applicable.
• Request the review: If you have made corrections, wait at least 2-3 months before the review request, since the processing of content can take this time. If your site has always followed the recommendations for optimization, you can request a review immediately. Safesearch uses automatic systems, and we cancel automatic solutions only in cases where your site was clearly incorrectly classified by Safesearch.

How to solve common mistakes leading to improper filtering your site in Google

Here are the most common errors because of which the site can be mistakenly marked as frank:

Adding meta-tags with an age rating for content that is not sexual

Sometimes site owners use meta-tag with an age rating to pages that are not sexy. Safesearch excludes all pages with this tag, regardless of their content.

Solution: Delete a meta-tag with an age rating from those pages that do not contain sexual content (meta-tag with an age rating should be used only for pages with sexual content).

Video marking as not suitable for family viewing in your video card

Sometimes site owners are too widely used by the tag <video:family_friendly>, and Safesearch filters all pages that are not suitable for family viewing, regardless of their content.

Solution: Use the “not for family viewing” tag only to content, which is sexual or contains graphic violence.

Permission to user content without moderation

If you allow users to leave or load outright content without proper moderation, this may lead to the fact that your site will be marked as frank.

Solution: It is recommended to introduce measures to prevent spam in the comments and observe the best practices for moderation of content.

Access restriction for Googlebot using an age filter

If you have an age filter and you do not allow Googlebot to scan your site without passing through this filter, our systems may calculate that your entire site is frank, and exclude it from the search results, even if some pages are not frank.

Solution: Make sure that Googlebot can scan your site without restrictions on the age filter, follow our recommendations on mandatory inter -page notifications, and confirm that Googlebot can scan your site without a request for age, using the “checking URL” tool in Search Console.

Lack of separation of frank and not frank pages on your site

If your site contains a lot of sexually frank content, and you do not share these pages on a separate domain or subdomain, our systems can calculate the entire site frank.

Solution: It is recommended to place candid pages on a separate domain or subdomain.

Search for solutions if the site is still mistakenly marked as frank in Google

If you have made changes, but your site still continues to be mistakenly marked as frank, consider the following aspects:

• If you recently made changes, our systems may require more time to process them. This can take up to 2-3 months.
• Keep in mind that if your site contains a significant amount of outright content (including a computedly generated image) or graphic violence, the entire site can be classified as frank and it will not be shown when the filter is filtered.
• If you are blurring outright images on the page, it can still be recognized as frank if the images can be returned to its original state or if the page leads to a frank image.
• Please note that candid pages cannot be shown in some search functions, such as advanced results, highlighted fragments or a video preview, regardless of whether Safesearch filtration is used.
