Generate a custom robots.txt file instantly. Control exactly what search engines can index, protect sensitive directories, and block AI scrapers from stealing your content.
Every time Googlebot visits your website, it assigns you a "crawl budget"—a limit to the number of pages it will process. If you have admin portals, private dashboards, or duplicate staging environments exposed, Googlebot wastes its time crawling useless pages instead of your money-making content. A properly configured robots.txt file acts as a traffic cop, directing search engines exclusively toward your most important pages while simultaneously blocking aggressive AI scrapers.
A robots.txt file is a simple text document placed in the root directory of your website. It provides instructions to web crawlers (like Googlebot) about which pages they are allowed to scan and index, and which pages they should ignore.
Many website owners choose to block AI scrapers (like GPTBot or ClaudeBot) to prevent their original content from being used to train Large Language Models without compensation or attribution.
Your robots.txt file must be uploaded to the top-level directory of your domain. For example, it must be accessible at https://yourwebsite.com/robots.txt for search engines to find it.
