What it does
Build a valid robots.txt file with multiple user-agent blocks, per-agent allow and disallow paths, an optional crawl-delay, and a sitemap URL. Download it as a text file and upload to your site root. The default starts with a sensible baseline (disallow /admin/, /private/, sitemap pointer).
Pair with meta tag generator and Open Graph generator to round out on-page SEO basics.
