In a world where artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role, it’s important to ensure that your content is accessible to everyone who needs it. Blocking crawlers and overly aggressive bot protection can make you invisible, which can have a negative impact on your business and online reputation. While it’s understandable that you want to protect your website from malicious bots and attacks, overprotection can also block legitimate bots that crawl the internet and index content for search engines and AI agents. Distinguish between AI training and AI search. Some AI crawlers collect training data, while others retrieve content in real time. You may want different policies for each.
