Indexing User Profiles

Support
1

Hey everyone, happy new year :))

From what I know the users are made not to be indexed on Google or any search results. However, I have removed /u from admin/customize/robots so is that enough or there more changes to do, also if anyone is curious what I’m trying to do is that I would love my community users profile to be indexed on search engines.
