Getting Started

Bot Manager:

Bot Manager gives you centralized control over search engine bots and AI crawlers accessing your WordPress site. It allows you to manage your robots.txt file visually, generate an llms.txt file for AI model discovery, and block or allow specific AI bots — all without touching code.

Introduction to Bot Manager:

As search engines and AI crawlers (like ChatGPT, Google Bard, Claude) increasingly scan websites, controlling what they can access becomes critical. Some bots consume bandwidth, scrape content, or ignore standard rules. Bot Manager automates and simplifies this control, letting you protect sensitive content, improve crawl efficiency, and future-proof your site for AI-driven search.

Why It Matters:

Uncontrolled bot access can:

• Slow down your server
• Expose private or unfinished content
• Allow AI models to use your data without permission
• Waste crawl budget on unimportant pages

By managing bot access properly, you improve site performance, protect intellectual property, and optimize how search engines index your content — boosting SEO and security simultaneously.

Requirements:

• The SEO Repair Kit plugin must be installed and activated
• Server must allow robots.txt and .htaccess (or equivalent) file access
• No coding skills required — the visual editor handles everything
