To set the x-robots-tag HTTP header to "index; follow" in IIS or web.config, you can use the <httpProtocol> element in the web.config file. Here's an example configuration:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <add name="X-Robots-Tag" value="index, follow" />
      </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>


You can add this configuration to your web.config file in the root directory of your website. This will add the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header to all responses from your website with the value "index; follow".


Note that this configuration will only work if you have access to modify the web.config file on your server. If you don't have access to the web.config file, you may need to contact your hosting provider or server administrator to make this configuration change.
