✅ Done — your robots meta tag
How it works
- Step 1 — Tick the crawl directives you need; each one shows a plain-English explainer.
- Step 2 — Pick the target crawler and fill in any values (dates, snippet limits).
- Step 3 — Copy the generated <meta> tag and paste it inside your page’s <head>.
Everyday uses
- Bloggers — noindex thin pages like tag archives and thank-you pages.
- Developers — keep staging sites out of Google with noindex, nofollow.
- Store owners — hide out-of-stock or duplicate product pages from the index.
- SEOs — fine-tune snippets and previews for brand control in results.
Warning: a noindex tag on an important page removes it from Google — double-check before deploying.
