Should I Block botify?

Probably not, especially if you benefit from an SEO service yourself. However, you might choose to block them if you're concerned about things like server resource usage.

How Do I Block botify?

You can block botify or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics to check whether it's actually following them.

How Do I Block All SEO Crawlers?
Serve a continuously updating robots.txt that blocks new SEO crawlers automatically.
User Agent String mozilla/5.0 mobile (compatible; botify; http://botify.com)

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Editing Is Not Scalable

New agents are created every day. We recommend setting up Dark Visitors Automatic Robots.txt if you want to block all agents of this type.
