1. What is Robots.txt?

It is a text file located in the root directory of the website (eg: example.com/robots.txt), used to instruct search engines (Googlebot, Bingbot...) which pages should or should not be crawled.

2. Benefits of optimizing robots.txt for SEO

Block bots from unimportant pages (helps focus on crawling quality pages).

Save crawl budget (Crawl Budget).

Avoid indexing duplicate pages (duplicate content).

Increase indexing speed of main content.

Support better page display on Google.

 3. SEO-optimized robots.txt template (for Blogspot or WordPress)

For Blogspot (Blogger):

User-agent: * Disallow: /search Allow: / Sitemap: https://yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml 

Explanation:

Block Google from indexing the search page (/search) causing duplicate content.

Allow indexing all posts (/).

Declare sitemap to make it easier for bots to crawl content.

For WordPress:

User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-admin/ Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php Sitemap: https://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml 

Explanation:

Block bots from the admin directory.

Allow bots to access AJAX when needed.

Send sitemap to help bots update new content faster.

4. Things to avoid in robots.txt

Do not block CSS/JS: Bots need access to evaluate the user interface.

Do not block the entire page by mistake: Disallow: / (will prevent Google from indexing the entire site).

Do not declare the sitemap incorrectly.

5. Advanced suggestions to speed up the climb

Combine with meta robots, canonical tags and standard sitemap.

Use Google Search Console to check robots.txt.

Monitor index error reports and crawl speed from Google.
