Should I Block BrightEdge Crawler?

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 BrightEdge Crawler?

You can block BrightEdge Crawler 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.
Set Up Automatic Robots.txt
User Agent String BrightEdge Crawler/1.0 (crawler@brightedge.com) 
# In your robots.txt ...

User-agent: BrightEdge Crawler # https://darkvisitors.com/agents/brightedge-crawler
Disallow: /

⚠️ 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.
