Why robots.txt Matters for AI Visibility
Your robots.txt file controls which crawlers can access your website. With the rise of AI search platforms, a growing number of AI-specific crawlers now request access to your content — and your robots.txt configuration determines whether they can see it.
If you accidentally block crawlers like GPTBot or ClaudeBot, your content will not be included in AI training data or cited in AI-generated responses. This means fewer AI citations, less visibility in tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, and missed opportunities for organic discovery.
