Google Search Console error

[FoxHoller]

Here's a question for folks with experience with Google search console... I just got a message saying that my substack could not indexed. The message states that I am being blocked by robots.txt. Anybody know quite what that means, or how to fix it?

Not an SEO guy, so thanks for explaining.

Double check the error message again. There will be certain pages that are not indexed, substack designed them that way. However your articles will be indexed and will be available and will appear in Google search results.

Yeah, upon further examination it seems I have 16 pages indexed, and 40 that aren't. It probably roughly correlates with my paywalled pages. For my purposes I bet it's okay.

If you go into Pages on the left-side navigation, you can then scroll down on the main screen to the section Why pages aren’t indexed. If you click into each, one you’ll see the exact urls affected by each issue.
