    Robots. TXT files are the best to prohibit an entire section of a site, such as a category, while a meta tag is more effective for refusing simple files and pages. You can choose to use both a tag of meta robots and robots.

    Hello,

    Both are important for your site’s SEO. Since meta robots tags and SEO robots.txt files aren’t truly interchangeable, you’ll need to use both to provide the correct parameters for site crawlers.

    Robots.txt files instruct crawlers about the entire site. While meta robots tags get into the essential of a specific page on a website.

    Hello,

    Both Robot .txt and meta robot tags are important. because Both Robots.txt and Robots Meta tag is utilized for the same goal. To tell Google, which directory of the website, folder, or pages should be avoided from crawling. The only difference is, in the robots.txt file you need to just mention the folder and URL of the website itself in Robots.txt file, which should not be crawled. However, in the case of Robots Meta Tag, you need to mention no follow and no index meta tag in each and every page itself that these pages should not be crawled.
