# 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.
