Does my site include a robots.txt file?

Learn if Turbify adds a robots.txt file to the root directory of your domain.

Article ID: SLN19552

Turbify automatically adds a robots.txt file to the root directory of your domain (e.g., https://www.learn2yoga.com/robots.txt) for pages built using Store Editor. This file outlines all of the directories that shouldn't be crawled by search engines. On the Search Engines page in Store Manager, you can add additional information to the file directly. Note: You cannot change the default information.

If you're using the Web Hosting portion of your account to build pages, you can add a robots.txt file to the File Manager.
