What should a Google robots.txt generator do first?

It should keep Googlebot crawlable for Google Search unless the site owner intentionally wants pages out of Google Search, then handle Google-Extended as a separate policy decision.

Is Google-Extended the same as Googlebot?

No. Googlebot is used for Google Search crawling. Google-Extended is a separate token for some AI-use controls, so do not treat the two rules as interchangeable.

Can robots.txt protect private data?

No. Robots.txt is a public crawler preference file, not access control. Keep private content behind authentication and use robots.txt only as a crawl policy signal.

Use this pack when the query is robots txt google generator, googlebot blocked by robots.txt, fix robots.txt googlebot, or test robots.txt for Googlebot.

Fast answer

Keep Googlebot open if you want Google Search traffic.

Default preset: search yes, broad training no.

Test Googlebot paths before publishing

Use the generated draft to preview whether Googlebot can reach public paths while admin, cart, checkout, and policy-controlled crawlers stay blocked. This is a helper for common robots.txt rules; validate live URLs in Search Console after publishing.

Googlebot and Google-Extended should not share one guess.

The common mistake is using robots.txt as a giant off switch. If organic search matters, write Googlebot and Google-Extended as separate rules and keep the reason visible for future maintainers.

Google Search

Googlebot

Leave Googlebot allowed for public pages you want eligible for Google Search discovery. Add private path blocks only where needed.

AI-use policy

Google-Extended

Use Google-Extended as a separate policy line. Blocking Google-Extended should not automatically mean blocking Googlebot.

Other AI crawlers

GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot

OAI-SearchBot and GPTBot have different jobs, so the generator lists them separately instead of hiding them behind one wildcard rule.

Copy-ready Google-safe starter

For a public site that wants Google Search traffic while blocking broad training or dataset crawlers, start with an explicit draft like this, then tune it for your site.

Google robots.txt generator FAQ

Should I block Googlebot?

Not if you want normal Google Search visibility for public pages. Block specific private or noisy paths instead.

Should I block Google-Extended?

That is a site policy decision. The key is to decide it separately from Googlebot and document the reason.

Should I use wildcard rules?

Use wildcard rules carefully. A broad User-agent: * block can affect many crawlers at once.
