The Webflow customer support team advises users to follow a specific process when it comes to the robots.txt rules in the SEO settings. Here's what they recommend:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account and go to the Project Settings.
  2. Click on the SEO tab in the left-hand menu.
  3. Scroll down to find the "Robot.txt File" section.
  4. By default, Webflow generates a robots.txt file that allows search engines to crawl your site. If you want to modify the rules, click on the "Edit" button.
  5. In the robots.txt editor, you can add custom rules to prevent specific pages or directories from being indexed by search engines. You can either create rules manually or use the drop-down menu to select common rules.
  6. After making the necessary modifications, click on the "Save" button to save your changes.

It's worth noting that incorrect robots.txt rules can unintentionally block search engines from crawling and indexing your site. Therefore, it's important to understand the implications of the rules you add or modify. If you require further assistance or have any doubts about the robots.txt rules in the SEO settings, it's recommended to reach out to the Webflow customer support team for additional guidance.
