Hello,

A 404 message means that the page that Google is trying to crawl does not exist. Do those pages actually exist on your website?

If those pages are not valid, I would suggest a few suggestions:

  • Add those pages so that they actually exist
  • Create 301 redirects from those pages to your home page for example

For more information I could suggest this article here:

Best,

Bobby
