Frequently Asked Questions

What is a robots.txt file and where should it be placed on my web server?

A robots.txt file is a plain text file placed in your website's root directory (e.g., https://example.com/robots.txt) that instructs search engine web crawlers which URLs or directories they may or may not crawl.

Does robots.txt prevent private or confidential pages from appearing in Google?

Robots.txt prevents crawling, but if external backlinks point to a disallowed URL, Google might still index the URL without scraping its content. To ensure a page is never indexed, use a <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tag instead.

Why should I block AI scrapers like GPTBot, CCBot, and ClaudeBot in robots.txt?

Blocking commercial AI scrapers prevents automated web crawlers from ingesting your proprietary articles, customer data, and creative content for LLM model training without permission or compensation.

How can I verify that my robots.txt file is working correctly?

Submit your live robots.txt URL to Google Search Console's Robots.txt Tester tool to simulate whether specific page paths on your domain are properly allowed or blocked.
