On sites with explicit content, keep it on its own subdomain or domain and label it with rating markup

Google's guidelines for sites with explicit content recommend grouping explicit pages on a separate domain or subdomain; otherwise Google's systems may judge the whole site explicit and filter all of it when SafeSearch is on. Explicit pages are marked with rating markup set to adult, as a meta tag or an HTTP response header. Author's view: SafeSearch signals are calculated at indexing from the whole page and its links, so a fix counts only after Google recrawls and reprocesses the pages.

Only for sites that host explicit material: serve it from a dedicated subdomain or domain, add <meta name="rating" content="adult"> (or the same value as an HTTP response header) to every explicit page, and keep explicit images, links and teasers off general templates. After moving or relabelling pages, request recrawling of the most important URLs.

Regensbot proposes a verdict with the evidence; a person on your team confirms it.

The evidence comes from your verified site: its pages, its profile and the files you upload.

You verify the site by a DNS TXT record, a meta tag or a file. Regensbot then keeps a checklist item for this requirement, with a state, a guide, an evidence upload and reminders.
