Is pasting a robots.txt file in the "Indexing" section of the SEO tab in Webflow the correct way to upload it, considering that Google Search Console is not recognizing it?

No, pasting a robots.txt file in the "Indexing" section of the SEO tab in Webflow is not the correct way to upload it. Google Search Console will not recognize it if you add it there.

To properly upload a robots.txt file in Webflow, you need to follow a different approach. Here's what you should do:

1. Go to your Webflow project settings by selecting the project from your dashboard and clicking on the "Settings" tab at the top.

2. In the project settings, click on the "SEO" tab.

3. Scroll down to the "Templates" section and locate the "robots.txt" file.

4. Click on the "Add file" button to upload your robots.txt file. Make sure the robots.txt file is properly formatted and follows the guidelines provided by Google.

5. Once the file is uploaded, you can preview it by clicking on the "Preview" button next to the file. This will display the contents of the robots.txt file to verify if it's correctly configured.

6. Save the changes by clicking on the "Save" button.

By following these steps, you will properly upload and configure your robots.txt file in Webflow. It will be accessible at the root of your website, and Google and other search engines will be able to recognize and process it correctly.

Remember, the robots.txt file is an essential component for informing search engines about the pages and files they should or shouldn't crawl on your website. It's vital to ensure that it's correctly uploaded and configured to avoid any unintended crawling or indexing issues.
