A Robots meta tag, also known as robots tags, is a piece of HTML code that's placed in the <head></head> section of a web page and is used to control how search engines crawl and index the URL.
The robots meta tag is an HTML tag that goes the head tag of a page and provides instructions to bots. Like the robots.txt file, it tells search engine crawlers whether or not they are allowed to index a page.
Robots meta directives (sometimes called "meta tags") are pieces of code that provide crawlers instructions for how to crawl or index web page content.
