Google says "no-index" in robots.txt?

Can anybody tell me why this is happening? It is only on a few of the products, not all of them?

Hi Paintapicture,

You may want to consider contacting Tech Support for assistance. When you create a website in Square, there's a lot of coding that goes on behind the scenes that is done for you. It's not like building a site from scratch whereas you control everything and can upload all of your files to a server. Square's site builder takes care of creating files like Robots.txt and automatically builds the Sitemap.xml file, it also takes care of your HTML pages including the Header details, scripts, etc. Bottom line, your question is a bit beyond the scope of the Community so contacting Tech Support would be your best option. You can do that via your Square Account.
