hi, can anyone let me know if my robot file is correct. my pages and wordpress posts are being indexed but not showing in serps and wondering if my robot file is wrong

https://www.in2town.co.uk/robots.txt

@sarahwalsh there are more than 1,000 posts.

I was using the Yoast plugin and for more than ten years and my keywords were always in the top twenty with many in the top five. I then moved over to rank math plugin and things were fine. Then i saw all my posts and pages go our of serps with not a single page in seps.

I looked at the plugin and saw that it was still working fine but my subscription ran out two months previous.

none of my brand news articles appear in serps. All my posts are indexed but not one of them in serps and not one of my keywords are ranked.

Can anyone please let me know what to do to solve this

I would like to know what tools I should use and how to investigate damage to my website in2town.co.uk I hired a person to do some work to my website but they damaged it. That person was on a freelance platform and was removed because of all the complaints made about them. They also put in backdoors on websites including mine and added content.

I also had a second problem where my content was being stolen.

My site always did well and had lots of keywords in the top five and ten, but now they are not even in the top 200. This happened in January and feb.

When I write unique articles, they are not showing in Google and need to find what the problem is and how to fix it. Can anyone please help

Hi, I made the mistake of hiring a freelancer to work on my website [in2town.co.uk](link url) but after having a good website things went from bad to worse. The freelancer was kicked off the platform due to lots of compliants from people and creating backdoors to websites and posting on them. It cost me money to have the back door to our site closed.

I then found lots of websites were stealing my content through the rss feed. Two of those sites have now been shut down by their hosting company.

With all these problems I found in Feb that the hundreds of keywords that I ranked for had vanished. And all the ones that were in the top ten for many years have also vanished.

When I create an article which includes https://www.in2town.co.uk/skegness-news/lincolnshire-premier-inn-staff-fear-for-their-jobs/ they cannot be found in Google. Normally before all these problems, my articles were found straight away.

If I put in the title name Lincolnshire Premier Inn Staff Fear For Their Jobs and then add In2town in front of it, then instead of the page coming up with the article, it instead shows the home page.

Can anyone please advise what tools i should be using to find out the problems and solve them, and can anyone offer advice please on what to do to solve this.
