Do I need a robots meta tag on the homepage of my site?

[asc76]

Is it recommended to include on the homepage of your site site?

I would like Google to index and follow my site. I am using WordPress and noticed my homepage is not including this meta tag, therefore wondering if I should include it?

It's important that you don't have a noindex or nofollow in your homepage. That's like blocking your site.

Be default, it's allowed / open. No need to allow it...you can do it, but it's not required in any way. However, as I said first, make sure you are not blocking the bots from indexing you. As soon as the block goes away, you are automatically allowing the bots to crawl and index you.
