Google indexing

[Nutritive]

Google appears to find a noindex tag on some of my pages and therefore can not index them why is this and how do I remove them. More to the point why are they there in the first place?

I even had to copy and paste a sitemap because there was not one!

Important fundamentals that I would have expected not to have to mess with.

What's the point of a website if search engines cant read it hence no or very few visitors.

How do I fix this no index problem? it appears to be some robot txt somewhere!

Quick before I migrate to another platform.

I fully understand that you don't provide SEO advice. However, having a sitemap embedded into a site and allowing it to be indexed by search engines are necessities if you want your site to be found. They have been included in every other Website building platform that I have used. 

No have robot txt imbedded that prevents my site being indexed is madness, why would you do that?

If I can't find a solution I shall move my business elsewhere.
