How do I use Robots Meta Tag Generator? 
1. Choose the crawler: Use the generic robots name to address crawlers generally, or Googlebot for a Google-specific directive. 2. Set indexing and preview directives: Choose index or noindex, follow or nofollow, and optional nosnippet and max-image-preview settings. 3. Add the generated directive: Copy the meta element into the page head or send X-Robots-Tag as an HTTP response header. You must make this change on your site yourself.

                            
What does noindex do? 
It asks compliant crawlers not to index an accessible page. A crawler must be able to fetch the page to read its meta tag or response header. It does not prevent access or secure content.

                            
Can I use both outputs? 
Yes. A robots meta element goes in the page head. X-Robots-Tag is sent as an HTTP response header and can also cover non-HTML files.

                            
Does this guarantee removal from search? 
No. Crawlers may not follow directives, and indexing changes can take time. Keep the page crawlable while a crawler needs to read noindex.
