Meta Robots Tag

The meta robots tag is an HTML element placed in the head of a page that gives instructions to search engine crawlers. The most common directives are noindex (do not index the page), nofollow (do not follow links), noarchive (do not cache), and nosnippet (do not display a snippet in SERPs). This tag is essential for controlling the visibility of certain pages in search results, such as thank-you pages, login pages, or duplicate content. It can be combined with the robots.txt file for fine-grained crawl and indexation management.
