Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I wonder if it has anything to do with the "Free Instant Access" popup that restricts any further access to listings until an email address is provided?

I was unable to escape the popup whenever it came up, and always had to close the tab. Could this affect crawlability? It certainly affects user experience.

I'm in-house, and SEO wasn't originally part of my job description.

Basically, anything online is now my domain. I'm sure I'm not the only one who prefers to control all aspects of online presence?
