Save as robots.txt at your site root. Blocking a bot means that engine can’t quote you.

Why AI crawler access matters

Before you can rank in AI answers, the answer engines have to be allowed to read you.

Blocked means uncited

If GPTBot or ClaudeBot can’t crawl you, those engines literally cannot quote your pages. Access is step zero for AEO.

Citation bots vs. trainers

Some crawlers power live answers (ChatGPT Search, PerplexityBot); others only train models. We flag which are which.

One file, total control

Allow the engines that send you buyers, block the ones you don’t want, and ship a single clean robots.txt.
