Frequently Asked Questions

Should I block AI crawlers?

It depends on your strategy. If you want AI platforms to recommend your products, keep them allowed. If you want to protect your content from being used to train AI models, you can block specific crawlers.

Will blocking Googlebot affect my rankings?

Yes - blocking Googlebot prevents Google from indexing your pages. The editor warns you if you're about to create rules that could harm your SEO.

Can I revert changes?

Yes. The editor keeps version history so you can revert to a previous configuration if needed.
