Which preset should you use?

Crawler policy is a business decision. The safest free-traffic posture is usually to keep discovery open while controlling broad training use with specific user-agent tokens.

Maximum discovery

Discovery-first

Use this for public marketing sites that want maximum eligibility across Google, ChatGPT search, Apple, Perplexity, and open web datasets.

Balanced

Search yes, training no

Keep Googlebot, OAI-SearchBot, Applebot, and PerplexityBot open, while blocking GPTBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, and CCBot.

Strict

Cautious AI block

Keep core Google and Apple search crawling open, but block common AI/search-answer and training-oriented crawler tokens.

How this helps the traffic funnel

This page targets a more practical query than generic AI SEO advice. People searching for robots.txt examples often need an answer immediately, so a working generator has a stronger chance of earning bookmarks, mentions, and support-thread links.

Distribution angle

Use this page when replying to questions about blocking GPTBot, allowing OAI-SearchBot, separating Googlebot from Google-Extended, or writing a robots.txt file for AI crawlers.
