Configure robots.txt without blocking valuable pages
We review the site structure, separate search-worthy URLs from service areas and write clear crawler rules. The original file is saved and important pages are tested before publication.
- valuable sections remain crawlable;
- service and infinite URLs do not waste crawl resources;
- the current sitemap is declared.
What the business gains
Valuable pages stay open
Products, services and articles are not accidentally blocked by an overly broad rule.
Focused crawling
Filters, search results, carts, technical parameters and other low-value URLs are assessed separately.
Verifiable rules
You receive the original and final file, tested URLs and a clear rollback path.
What the work includes
- Locate the current robots.txt and check its response, format and availability.
- Inventory valuable, service, parameterised and duplicate URL patterns.
- Match rules to the CMS, subdomains and actual search requirements.
- Prepare a new version and agree on ambiguous restrictions.
- Test representative URLs for Googlebot and other required crawlers.
- Publish, retest and provide a before/change/after report.
Included and separate work
| Work | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis, drafting, publication and verification for one website | Included | For the agreed domain and project subdomains. |
| Finding accidentally blocked URL patterns and assessing file rules | Included | Representative page types are tested; indexing of every page is not guaranteed. |
| Fixing meta robots, X-Robots-Tag, canonical and server responses | Separate | robots.txt does not replace these controls. |
| Removing already indexed URLs from search | Separate | A Disallow rule alone does not remove a page from the index. |
| Creating sitemap.xml or redesigning site architecture | Separate | We declare an existing working sitemap. |
You can configure robots.txt yourself or check it manually.
What we need
Provide the domain, valuable sections and CMS. Publication may require temporary access to the site panel, file manager, repository or server. Do not send passwords in the form; we will agree on a secure transfer method.
Changing robots.txt does not guarantee higher rankings or an immediate recrawl. Recrawl timing depends on the search engine and website condition.
Enter the domain below. We will inspect the present file first and tell you which information or access is needed.
