## **🔍 What Is the Knowledge Graph Top Pages Section?**

The **Knowledge Graph Top Pages** section displays the pages on your website that Search Atlas has identified as most relevant based on your site's data, link structure, and content signals. This list is automatically generated to give you a quick overview of your most significant pages.

## **❓ Can You Delete Pages from This Section?**

At this time, pages listed in the **Knowledge Graph Top Pages** section **cannot be manually deleted or removed** by users. The list is dynamically populated by Search Atlas algorithms based on your site's crawl data and internal signals — it is not a manually curated list.

Because this section reflects your site's actual structure and authority signals, removing a page from view here would not affect how Search Atlas processes or analyses your site.

## **⚙️ Why a Page Appears in Top Pages**

A page is surfaced in the Top Pages section based on factors such as:

- **Internal link authority** — pages that receive a high number of internal links tend to rank higher in this list
- **Crawl frequency** — pages visited more often during site crawls are considered more prominent
- **Content signals** — pages with well-structured, topically rich content may be weighted more heavily
- **Traffic data** — if Google Search Console is connected, pages with stronger organic performance may surface here

## **💡 What You Can Do Instead**

While direct removal is not available, there are a few steps you can take to influence which pages appear most prominently over time:

1. **Review your internal linking structure** — reducing internal links pointing to a page you consider less important can lower its prominence in the Knowledge Graph over time.
2. **Use the filtering and search options** — within the Knowledge Graph interface, use available filters to focus your view on the pages most relevant to your work, so less useful pages are not the centre of attention.
3. **Exclude pages at the crawl level** — if certain pages should not be crawled or analysed at all (such as staging URLs or thank-you pages), consider using your **robots.txt** or adjusting crawl settings in Search Atlas to exclude them from future crawls. This may reduce their prominence over time.
4. **Keep your sitemap up to date** — ensuring your sitemap only includes the canonical, production-ready pages you want Search Atlas to prioritise helps guide the algorithm toward the right content.

## **🔄 When Does the List Refresh?**

The Knowledge Graph Top Pages list updates automatically after each site crawl. Changes you make to your internal linking or site structure will be reflected once Search Atlas recrawls your site. Depending on your crawl schedule and site size, this may take anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

## **🛠️ Still Seeing Irrelevant Pages?**

If a page that should not exist on your site at all (for example, a deleted or redirected page) continues to appear, it is likely still being picked up during crawls. To resolve this:

- Ensure the page returns a **404 or 301 redirect** rather than a 200 status code
- Remove the URL from your sitemap if it is still listed there
- Trigger a fresh crawl in Search Atlas after making these changes

Once the recrawl confirms the page is no longer accessible, it should drop out of the Top Pages section naturally.
