SEO-for-Beginners

You run into a site that has the following line in its robots.txt file:

Disallow: /

This means that the robots.txt file is disallowing crawling from the

top of the site down.

You run into a site that doesn’t have a sitemap.xml directive in

robots.txt. This is considered an SEO best practice.

Delete that line.

Make sure you add in a directive declaring the location of your site-

map file, such as the following:

Sitemap: https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml
