Context: - Site Type: Site Type - Pages/URLs to Index: Pages to Index - Pages/URLs to Exclude: Pages to Exclude Instructions: 1. Evaluate each page or URL group and assign the most appropriate indexing control method (robots.txt, meta noindex, canonical tag, or authentication/password protection).

If a platform is specified, tailor the steps accordingly; otherwise, provide standard, platform-agnostic examples. 3.

Create a quick-reference decision matrix summarizing "Use X when Y" for common indexing scenarios. 6. Rely strictly on the provided information.
