Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I upload my robots.txt file?
Upload the generated file directly to your website root directory so it resolves at https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt.
Can I block OpenAI and ChatGPT from scraping my website?
Yes, setting GPTBot and CCBot to "Block" adds explicit Disallow: / directives that reputable AI search crawlers respect.
Does robots.txt guarantee a page will not be indexed?
Robots.txt prevents crawling. If a page has external backlinks, Google might still index the URL without content. To guarantee de-indexing, use a "noindex" robots meta tag.
