: Will Google automatically re-index my page when I remove the 'noindex' tag On my request, our company has implemented a function in our website that adds <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

If you want to request indexing, you can submit it to Search Console. This tends to speed the process by manually indicating you'd like a page (and linked pages) considered for indexing.

If you remove tags, then you're waiting for Google to check the latest version. It will add your pages eventually if you remove tags.

The actual crawl speed varies greatly depending on factors that we aren't fully aware of but if I had to guess I would say Google likely makes 'noindex' pages lower priority. You can check your crawl frequency in Search Console as well to get an idea of how often Google updates itself on your content. If it looks high compared to other sites, it'd be worth experimenting with timing how long it takes for it to pick up one page that's had it's 'noindex' request removed.
