Robots.txt files tell search engines and AI crawlers which parts of your website they can visit. This skill helps you set up, check, and fix those rules. You can block unwanted crawlers like GPTBot or allow Googlebot to reach specific pages.
Getting robots.txt right keeps your important content visible while protecting private areas. It works alongside noindex tags but controls crawling, not indexing. A mistake like blocking pages that use noindex can stop search engines from seeing your site at all.
Whether you manage a small blog or a large e-commerce site, this guide walks you through best practices, common errors, and how to handle AI crawlers. You will learn the difference between blocking a whole folder and hiding a single page.
