Frequently asked questions

Where do I place robots.txt?

Upload the file to the root of your domain, so it is reachable at https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt. Search engines look there automatically.

Does Disallow guarantee a page stays out of Google?

No. It only asks compliant crawlers not to fetch the page. To exclude pages from the index reliably, use a noindex meta tag or HTTP header.

Should I always include a sitemap line?

Yes, if you have an XML sitemap. It helps crawlers find your URLs faster, especially on new domains.
