How it Works

Robots.txt Management:

Bot Manager provides a visual editor for your robots.txt file. Instead of manually editing code, you can add, remove, or modify rules using simple toggles and dropdowns. The tool validates your rules in real time, preventing syntax errors that could confuse search engines.

AI Bot Control:

You can block or allow specific AI crawlers — including ChatGPT (GPTBot), Google Bard (Google-Extended), Claude (Anthropic), and others. When you block a bot, Bot Manager automatically adds the appropriate rules to your robots.txt and optionally enforces them at the server level with a 403 Forbidden response.

LLMs.txt Generator:

AI models are beginning to support llms.txt — a new standard that tells AI crawlers which content they’re allowed to read. Bot Manager lets you generate this file automatically, selecting which post types and taxonomies to include or exclude. This ensures your content is used appropriately by AI systems while respecting your preferences.

Server-Level Enforcement:

For stricter control, Bot Manager can block unwanted bots at the server level (via .htaccess or Nginx config). This stops bots before they even read your robots.txt, returning a 403 error and saving server resources.

Real-Time Validation & Preview:

Every change you make is validated instantly. A preview panel shows exactly how your robots.txt and llms.txt will appear to crawlers, so there’s no guesswork.
