Robots.txt Creation & SEO Check

Job ID: 40274185

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

My website, talkingstatues.com, currently has no robots.txt file at all. I need one built from scratch that follows Google, Bing, and other major crawler guidelines, correctly points to our XML sitemap, and keeps any sensitive or duplicate sections out of the index.

While you are in the codebase, please run a concise technical SEO health check so I know if there are any quick-win fixes or critical red flags beyond the robots file itself. Feel free to use tools such as Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, or Ahrefs as you see fit—the key is to give me a clear, prioritised list of actions.

Deliverables:
• A clean, fully commented robots.txt file ready to upload to the site root
• A brief audit report (PDF or Google Doc) outlining detected technical SEO issues, their impact, and recommended next steps

I will provide server access and any analytics data you request.
