Choose Your Website Type Pick whether you run a blog, news site, store, or other type. This helps set the best default rules for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I put the robots.txt file? Upload it to the main folder of your website, also called the root directory. It should be reachable at yoursite.com/robots.txt.
Will blocking AI bots hurt my Google ranking? No. You only block AI training bots, not Google search bot. Your search rankings stay safe and strong.
Do all bots follow robots.txt rules? Most good bots respect the rules. Some bad bots ignore them. For stronger blocking, also use our .htaccess generator.
