Choose which AI crawlers may read your site
Allow the crawlers that answer questions with a link to you, block the ones that only train models, or make your own choice.
- Open the AI crawlers tab — Go to SEO, Sitemaps and AI, AI crawlers. Crawlers are grouped into AI search and answers, Fetching for a person, and Training AI models.
- Read what each group does — Blocking a crawler that answers questions removes your site from AI answers that would link to you. Blocking a crawler that trains models costs you nothing in search or in AI answers.
- Pick a policy — Use the one-click choice to allow answers and block training, block every AI crawler, or choose My own choice and set each crawler yourself.
- Save and test — Saving writes the rules into robots.txt. The robots.txt tab can test any address against any crawler.
