Prompt: remove anything blocking Google from your app

When to use it

When Google Search Console’s URL Inspection says Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag or Blocked by robots.txt, or when a site:yourapp.com search shows nothing weeks after launch.

A noindex tag is often added while an app is being built, so unfinished pages don’t show up in search, and then nobody removes it. A robots.txt rule like Disallow: / does the same for the whole site.

What to check afterwards

• Open yourapp.com/robots.txt in your browser. Public pages shouldn’t be listed under Disallow.
• View the source of your homepage and search for noindex. It shouldn’t be there.
• Inspect the page again in Search Console and click Request indexing once.

Be careful with

Private pages, like dashboards, account settings and admin pages, should stay blocked. If the builder removes every rule, ask it to put those back. Also check whether your app is published as private in the builder’s settings. No prompt can fix that. It’s a switch you change yourself.
