SEO & Discoverability

Do I need to worry about robots.txt as a small business?

Usually no. Forxample sets sensible robots.txt defaults, and unnecessary restrictions can hurt search visibility.

Do I need to worry about robots.txt as a small business?

Probably not. Forxample sets up the basic rules automatically, your public pages are open to search engines and your admin area is hidden. Most small businesses only ever need to block internal or admin folders. Over-restricting your site can actually hurt your search rankings, so it's best not to change anything unless you know what you're doing.
