  1. Make sure you have the setting set to make WordPress visible to search engines
  2. Register your site with Google Webmaster Tools
  3. Install a plugin like WordPress SEO by Yoast

If you haven't checkout our WordPress SEO course, please do. It discusses this issue a bit.

However, you can add a Robots.txt file manually in the root of the directory just like with any other site.
