Frequently Asked Questions

What is a robots.txt file for?

It tells search engine crawlers which parts of your site they're allowed or not allowed to access β€” placed at the root of your domain (yoursite.com/robots.txt).

Can I create rules for specific bots?

Yes, use custom rules mode and set a specific user-agent (like "Googlebot") instead of the default "*" (all bots).

Should I include my sitemap?

Yes, it's good practice β€” adding your sitemap URL helps search engines discover and crawl your pages more efficiently.

Does blocking a page in robots.txt remove it from search results?

Not necessarily β€” robots.txt prevents crawling, but a page can still appear in search results (without a description) if it's linked from elsewhere. Use a noindex meta tag instead to reliably keep a page out of search results.
