How to Opt Out of Google Shopping, Flights, Hotels & Local Search

What You Can Opt Out From: #

• Google Shopping
  
• Google Flights
  
• Google Hotels and vacation rentals

• Content from your site that Google has crawled will no longer be displayed on these properties.
  
• Any content currently shown will be removed within 30 days of opting out.
  

Important Details: #

• Opt-out is domain-wide:
  
  • If you opt out for example.com, all content on that domain and its subdomains (like sub.example.com) is opted out.
    
  • If you have other domains (e.g., example.org), you must opt out separately for each domain.
    
  • You cannot opt out only specific subdomains or directories (like example.com/sub).
    
• Local Search Opt-out is global:
  
  • This applies worldwide, not limited to specific Google domains.
    
• Other properties opt-out applies to google.com only:
  
  • For Shopping, Flights, Hotels, and vacation rentals, opt-out affects only services hosted on google.com.
    

Summary: #

If you want to keep your site content out of local search results or Google’s specialized properties, opt out at the domain level. Plan carefully because it’s an all-or-nothing choice per domain and subdomain.
