Robots.txt, Sitemap and Sitemap for picture

To optimize our website and enhance our interaction with search engines, we wish to have the ability to manually edit the robots.txt file. This flexibility would allow us to implement our SEO strategy more precisely and make our online presence more effective.

Advantages of Manually Editing the robots.txt:

1. Control: You can precisely dictate which parts of your site should be crawled by search engines. This prevents indexing of irrelevant or private pages.
2. Efficiency: By excluding certain pages, you can focus crawler resources on the pages that are important to your SEO strategy.
3. Security: You can prevent certain areas of your site from appearing in search results, increasing security and privacy.

Advantages of Manually Editing the Sitemap:

1. Up-to-date: You can ensure that your sitemap always contains the latest pages, which is especially important for dynamic websites.
2. Prioritization: You can highlight certain pages in the sitemap to signal their importance to search engines.
3. Structure: A well-structured sitemap helps search engines better understand and index the structure of your site.

Advantages of an Image Sitemap:

1. Visibility: An image sitemap increases the likelihood that your images will be found in search engines' image searches.
2. Context: You can add important information to each image, such as titles and descriptions, which enhances their relevance in search results.
3. Traffic: Improved indexing of images can drive more traffic to your site.
