Service Brief
AI Crawler Permission Setup
We set the rules for which AI robots can read and train on your website's content. Think of it as a bouncer at the door deciding which AI bots get in and which stay out.
Executive Summary
AI crawlers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others constantly scrape websites for training data. AppWT configures permission controls that protect proprietary information while allowing beneficial AI exposure. We implement user-agent specific rules in robots.txt, configure meta tags that control AI scraping, and set up monitoring to detect unauthorized access. Our approach balances IP protection with AI visibility benefits, allowing citation while preventing training on sensitive content. We configure separate rules for GPTBot, Claude-Web, Google-Extended, and emerging AI crawlers. Dearborn companies protect competitive intelligence while maintaining presence in AI-generated results through strategic crawler management.
