Set robots meta directives correctly

An accidental noindex on a key landing page silently removes it from search results; audit every page's robots directive to avoid invisible ranking losses.

Quick Reference

Place <meta name="robots" content="..."> in <head> to control indexing per-page
Use noindex only on pages that should not appear in search results
Avoid noindex, nofollow on pages you want crawled for PageRank flow
Crawler-specific tags (googlebot, bingbot) override the generic robots tag for that crawler

Check

Inspect <head> for <meta name="robots" content="...">. Verify the content value is intentional (e.g., production pages should not have noindex). Check for conflicting googlebot-specific tags.

Fix

Remove or update the noindex directive from pages that should appear in search results. For pages that must be blocked, confirm noindex is intentional. Remove duplicate or conflicting robots meta tags.
