3. FAQs

Q1: What is a Bot Manager?

A: Bot Manager is a tool that lets you control how search engines and AI crawlers access your website — without editing files manually.

Q2: What is robots.txt?

A: robots.txt tells search engines which pages they can or cannot crawl. Bot Manager lets you manage it visually with SEO and security best practices.

Q3: What is llms.txt?

A: llms.txt is a discovery file for AI models, helping them understand what content they’re allowed to access and learn from.
