About

Botify's SiteCrawler analyzes website structure and content like a search engine, giving enterprise SEO teams detailed insights into how their sites are crawled and indexed. You can see how often botify visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics.

Expected Behavior

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) crawlers do not adhere to a fixed visitation schedule for websites. The frequency of visits varies widely based on several factors, including the search keywords it ranks for, and how many other websites link to it.

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?

⚠️ 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.
