Text file placed at the root of a website to indicate to indexing robots which pages to explore or avoid.
The robots.txt file is a web standard that allows site owners to communicate with indexing robots (crawlers). It indicates which parts of the site can or cannot be explored. In the context of GEO, it's crucial to configure robots.txt to allow AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) to access your content, unless you have legal or strategic reasons to block them.
Qwairy analyzes your robots.txt file to verify AI crawler accessibility. Our crawlability analysis checks if GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, and other AI crawlers can access your content, identifying any blocking rules that might prevent AI visibility.
