Questions

Frequently asked questions

Useful context for applying this tool to your site.

Do I need explicit Allow rules for AI crawlers?

Usually no. A crawler is normally allowed when it has no matching disallow rule. Explicit Allow rules can document an intentional policy or override a broader setup, depending on the crawler's implementation.

Will allowing a crawler guarantee AI visibility?

No. Crawl permission does not guarantee indexing, citation, training use, or a mention in an AI answer. It only removes one possible access restriction for crawlers that honor robots.txt.

Can I merge these rules with an existing robots.txt file?

Yes. Paste your existing content into the optional merge field. The generated AI crawler rules are placed after a clear comment separator so you can review the final text before publishing.

Does robots.txt protect private content?

No. robots.txt is a crawling preference, not access control. Use authentication and authorization to protect pages that must remain private.
