Frequently Asked Questions

What is a robots.txt file and why do I need one?
A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which pages or sections of your site they can or cannot access. It helps control crawl budget and prevent indexing of private or duplicate content.
Where should I place my robots.txt file?
Place your robots.txt file in the root directory of your website, so it is accessible at yourdomain.com/robots.txt. Search engines always look for it at this specific location.
Does robots.txt guarantee pages will not be indexed?
No. Robots.txt only tells crawlers not to crawl certain pages, but if other pages link to them, they may still appear in search results. Use a noindex meta tag to reliably prevent indexing.
