Frequently asked questions
Which AI crawlers should I allow?
For maximum AI visibility, allow GPTBot (ChatGPT), PerplexityBot (Perplexity), and anthropic-ai (Claude). Google-Extended controls AI training but not Google Search. CCBot feeds Common Crawl, used by many AI models.
Will allowing AI crawlers hurt my SEO?
No. AI crawlers are separate from search engine crawlers like Googlebot. Allowing AI crawlers doesn't affect your traditional SEO and can improve your AI search visibility.
What if I don't have any AI crawler rules?
If your robots.txt doesn't mention AI crawlers specifically, most will follow your general User-agent: * rules. It's best to explicitly allow AI crawlers you want to access your content.
Can I allow AI crawlers for some pages but not others?
Yes. You can use Allow and Disallow directives for specific paths. For example, allow AI crawlers for your blog and documentation but block them from private or premium content.
