Hello,
To change the robots meta tag from:
to:
You need to remove the existing directives “follow”, “index”, “max-snippet:-1”, and “max-video-preview:-1” from the content attribute. After making the change, your robots meta tag should only include “max-image-preview:large”.
If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Hello,
Apologies for the inconvenience.
You may disregard the previous replies and follow these steps to achieve that robots structure.
1. Head over to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Global Meta > Advanced Robots Meta and uncheck the Snippet and Video Preview checkboxes, then click the save button below
2. Once done, apply this filter on your site to remove the default index and follow robots meta tags:
add_filter('rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
unset($robots['index']);
unset($robots['follow']);
return $robots;
});
If you’re not sure how to add this code, you can follow this guide:

Hope that helps.
