Hi
Several of my pages are considered 'noindex' by Google. They all have in common that they are 'use client' pages. Could 'use client' (client-side rendering) be the cause of an indexing issue in a Next.js project?

The meta tags seem to be correctly injected on each page, and the HTML files in the build show this: <meta name="robots" content="index"/><meta name="googlebot" content="index"/> in each of the problematic pages

I don't have any layout except in app/(group)/layout, and it looks like this:

robots: {
index: true,
googleBot: {
index: true,
},
},
//...

you can send report to google for update their data as I know

Okay, I'll do all that. Why do you think it's because of the robots object in the metadata, by the way?

Thank you so much for your help, really. I'm just starting out, and I don't quite know what I'm doing at the moment

cuz all pages should be indexed by default no need to specify again
