Hello,
If Googlebot is flagging duplicate content on your website, it’s essential to manage your indexing properly. Disallowing tags and categories in the robots.txt file can help prevent search engines from indexing these pages, which might be causing duplication issues.
By disallowing tags and categories, you can focus Google’s attention on your primary content, reducing the chances of duplicate content penalties. You can easily set up these rules using the robots.txt file.
To disallow tags and categories in your robots.txt file, you can follow these steps:
- Access your website’s robots.txt file.
- Add directives to disallow specific URLs related to tags and categories.
- Save the changes to ensure search engines follow the new instructions.
If you are unsure how to edit your robots.txt file, you can refer to this guide on how to edit robots.txt with Rank Math.
By implementing these changes, you can help Google better understand your website’s structure and reduce the risk of duplicate content issues.
