Is it possible to add code to a blog post making a paragraph of it invisible to search engines?

One of my clients wants to make sure Google doesn't make any associations between her site and someone else's, but she wants to publish a post containing information on the other site, including it's URL.

I'm so not a coding person, so forgive me if this is very simple!

Thank you.

Unfortunately, she wanted the rest of the post and site indexed. Adding custom css to the post seems to have worked.

Thank you for the help!

The custom css will hide from users not from google

I guess this can be done by some social media locking share plugin, if you ever stumble upon such a site you know what I am saying, some parts or paragraphs in an article typically locked, you have to share them on social media in order to unlock it, that's it, invisible to Google, but user can ONLY see it by sharing it, double win.

Maybe there are other simple ways...your client is weird to asking this.

Oh no. Okay, so apparently I don't know how to add custom css to a post. *sigh*

I think I'm just going to screenshot the post, make a jpg of the paragraph and put it in place of the actual text. I'm not sure why I didn't just do that to begin with. Sorry guys. Thank you for the help! <3
