Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should the robots.txt file be uploaded?
It must be uploaded to the root directory of your domain (e.g. https://www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt).
Does Disallow in robots.txt guarantee a page won't be indexed?
No, if external sites link to the URL, Google may still index the link. To guarantee de-indexing, use the robots noindex meta tag.
Can I block AI crawlers like GPTBot?
Yes, you can add explicit disallow blocks for User-Agent: GPTBot or CCBot.
