I'm wondering if paywalls, those things that block access to content unless you pay, can actually harm a website's SEO. I mean, does it affect how search engines like
Google rank the site or its content? Can someone explain this to me?

A paywall can be implemented on a website without negatively impacting its SEO, provided that it is set up correctly.

When a paywall is correctly configured, it restricts access to certain content while still allowing search engines to crawl and index the site's pages.

Conversely, improperly implemented paid access can lead to issues with indexing and scanning.

When a site's content is not properly indexed, it becomes difficult for users to find the site through search engines, which can negatively impact traffic and engagement.
