Hi and thanks for your time, Is there any way to prevent search engines like Google from indexing webpages of a SuiteCommerce standard Web store so that they don't appear in Google search results?
I have tried adding robots.txt in Web Site Hosting Files &gt; Live Hosting Files but this did not worked for me.
Also is there any way to add HTML elements inside &lt;head&gt; tag of SCS Web Store so that I can try adding `&lt;meta name="robots" content="noindex"&gt;`?
Thanks

Robots.txt is the right way -- are you sure you've put the right entries in it?

Post-live (or post-indexing, I guess) you can use Google Search Console to ask Google remove certain pages from their index.

Thanks <@U8X7E86M6>. The contents of my robots.txt are:
```User-agent: *
Disallow: /```
 Will try giving Google Search Console a go. Thanks

Well, that's certainly right! And if it's accessible via the domain then that's really all you need to do. And yeah, using GSC to remove pages is probably the next step

In File Cabinet, for robots.txt It shows this icon with yellow exclamation. I am not sure what this means.

I don't think that matters so long as it is accessible on the frontend
