## What is Robots.txt Generator?

Robots.txt Generator is a free SEO tool from Farvixo that lets you create robots.txt rules visually. It checks your input against current search-engine documentation and explains what to change and why, rather than only returning a score. Free and unlimited, with no account and no per-report credit system.

## How to use Robots.txt Generator

1. **Enter your URL or content** — Give Robots.txt Generator the page address or the text you want checked.
2. **Run the analysis** — Robots.txt Generator inspects the content against current search-engine guidance and scores what it finds.
3. **Act on the report** — Work through the findings, each with what to change and why it matters. Re-run it afterwards to confirm the fix.

## Use cases

- Auditing a page before publishing it or after a redesign
- Generating valid structured data without hand-writing JSON-LD
- Site owners diagnosing why a page is not appearing in search results
- Agencies producing a quick technical check for a client site

## Tips

- Fix indexing and crawling problems before tuning titles — a page that cannot be crawled cannot rank however good the copy is.
- Validate generated structured data in Google's Rich Results Test before deploying it.
- Re-run the check after deploying so you are measuring what is live, not what you drafted.

## Common problems

- **A page will not fetch** — The site blocks automated requests, or requires a login. Check robots.txt and test the URL in a private browsing window.
- **Structured data validates but shows no rich result** — Valid markup makes a page eligible, not guaranteed. Google decides per query, and new markup can take weeks to be picked up.
- **The report contradicts another SEO tool** — Different tools weight signals differently. Treat the underlying finding as the fact and the score as one opinion.

## FAQ

### Does robots.txt stop a page appearing in search results?

No — and this trips people up constantly. Disallow stops crawling, not indexing. A blocked page linked from elsewhere can still appear as a bare URL with no description. To keep a page out of results, allow the crawl and use a noindex meta tag.

### Should I block AI crawlers?

A real decision, not a technicality. Blocking GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot keeps your content out of their training and answers — and out of the citations that increasingly drive traffic. Most sites benefit from allowing them; ones selling the content itself often do not.

### Can robots.txt protect private pages?

No. It is a public file that politely asks well-behaved crawlers to stay away, and it advertises exactly which paths you consider sensitive. Anything genuinely private needs authentication.

### Where does robots.txt go?

The root of the domain — example.com/robots.txt, nowhere else. It applies per host and per protocol, so a subdomain needs its own file.

### Do I need a robots.txt at all?

Not strictly — no file means everything may be crawled, which is fine for many sites. Add one when you need to exclude paths or point crawlers at your sitemap.
