Handy for managing bots

I am still figuring out my work flow for using Rank Math SEO to improve SEO. I can’t evaluate fairly as far as how much Rank Math will help me fix my content for SEO help yet.

However, I already love Rank Math for two other reasons: A very fast way to set the robots metatag from within the page I am editing, and url redirection. For robots, just click the Rank Math icon at the top of the page you are editing and you will find check boxes for “no index,” “no follow,” etc.

For redirection, I just uninstalled another redirection plugin that I liked because Rank Math handles it just as well. You can set Rank Math to watch for URL changes and automatically create redirects when those changes are made.

Also, I recommend that you check out the site map Rank Math automatically generates for the robots. Find it by going to (your domain)/sitemap.xml (which works no matter what software generated the site map.) Very useful to see what the web crawlers see, to remind you to delete those pages that you didn’t mean to leave up. (Even though you didn’t add them to the user menu, the robots still find them). The site map also reminded me to add the metatag “no index, no follow” to the cart page and the login page.

I like that Rank Math explains things well, too.
