hide public pages from site search (and google)

[wilderbee]

We have a three-step form to collect data (Fast Secure Contact Form & Contact Form to Database).  Meaning, there are three pages, each with a different shortcode: page1/[form1]; page2/[form2]; page3/[form3].  The process must start with page1 and is not complete until page3 confirmation is displayed.

Only page1 should be returned on website search results — and hopefully also for google as well.  Also have other situations where only the lead page should be returned in search results.

Is there a way to hide public pages with Weaver Xtreme & Plus? 

Thank you!

This has nothing to do with the theme.

To hide from the WordPress search, you will most likely need a plugin like this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-exclude/
Or use a plugin that provides different search engine for the site like https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-everything/ which has the option to exclude pages

To hide from Google, you need to do bit of search  on Google … Normally there is a file robot.txt where you can mark pages to exclude. An SEO plugin may also provide an easier way to do that.
