SEO question

Hi,

I've noticed that when I search for my website in google, it simply reads 'No information is available for this page'

Could you please advise where in umbraco I can input information for this?

Thanks

It sounds like you have a robots.txt or perhaps a noindex flag on the page blocking Google from seeing it.

If you're stuck DM me the URL and I'll take a quick look for you.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for getting back in touch.

The website is here, if you wouldn't mind having a look for me?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Beth,

Steve nailed it, your robots.txt file is disallowing all crawlers at: http://howsbusiness.org/robots.txt
```
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
```
You should change this to something like (as a starter, you may want to read up on robots.txt best practices):
```
User-agent: *
Disallow: /aspnet_client/
Disallow: /bin/
Disallow: /config/
Disallow: /css/
Disallow: /data/
Disallow: /install/
Disallow: /masterpages/
Disallow: /python/
Disallow: /scripts/
Disallow: /umbraco/
Disallow: /umbraco_client/
Disallow: /usercontrols/
Disallow: /xslt/
```
You can also read a little more about robots.txt.

Personally I would just set it to (note how the '/' is now missing).
```
User-agent: *
Disallow: 
```
I tend not to put too much info in my robots.txt as it shows what the site is running (I hide the /Umbraco folder in a different way if you're concerned about security).
