Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I block Googlebot?
If Googlebot cannot crawl your pages, they will not be indexed and will not appear in search results. Always test your robots.txt before deploying changes.
Does robots.txt prevent a page from being indexed?
No. Robots.txt prevents crawling, not indexing. A page can still appear in search results if other sites link to it. To prevent indexing, use a noindex meta tag instead.
