Adding index/follow with Metatags per Page

Hi!

Since i want to provide unambiguous information to the Search Engines, i want to actually add “index,follow” to the metatags of my pages. The Site doesnt actually have it in its html though. I’ve republished a few times, just to make sure and of course deleted cache.

Because sitejet itself doesnt add the itself, when i disable the “Nofollow” Checkbox, i wanted to add it with the Additional Metatags for each Page that should have the specific index/follow.

I know that Search Enginges “should” treat no robots metatag as “index,follow”- but i do not trust them enough to actually do that.

Why would the Additional Metatag not show up in the HTML? Is there a Bug?
Site ID: 2940722

Best Regard,

Manuel

You can verify this directly in Google Search Console using the URL Inspection tool.
If it shows “Indexing allowed: Yes”, then the page is treated as index, follow even without an explicit meta tag.
