Robots.txt Generator

It builds a correctly formatted robots.txt file based on the crawl rules you specify, so you get a file search engines can read without the syntax errors that come from writing one by hand.

You select the user agents, allowed paths, and disallowed paths you want, and the tool assembles them into valid robots.txt syntax. Nothing is added that you didn't specify.

It's a plain text file that tells search engine crawlers which parts of your site they may access. Without one, crawlers default to indexing everything they can reach, which isn't always what a site owner wants.

Upload it to your domain's root directory so it's reachable at yoursite.com/robots.txt. Search engines only check that exact location, not subfolders or subdomains separately.

Yes. You can set different allow and disallow rules for different crawlers, such as one rule set for Googlebot and a separate rule set for other bots, within the same file.

Yes, that's one of the more common configurations. You list the bot's user agent name with a disallow rule while leaving Googlebot's rules open.

You can add a sitemap directive pointing to your sitemap's URL as part of the file, giving crawlers a direct reference to your sitemap alongside the crawl rules.

A hand-written file is prone to small syntax mistakes, like a misplaced wildcard or a disallow rule that's broader than intended. The generator produces correctly structured syntax every time, which removes that risk.

Each subdomain needs and reads its own robots.txt file at its own root. You can generate a separate file for each subdomain you manage.

The new file replaces the old one once you upload it to the same location. Review your current rules before replacing them so you don't lose a restriction you still need.

No. The interface asks for the crawl rules you want in plain terms and produces the properly formatted file for you, with no manual syntax writing required.

Regenerate it whenever your site structure changes meaningfully, such as adding a staging area, a private section, or new content you want crawled or excluded.

The file itself doesn't change rankings directly. It controls what crawlers can access, so an overly restrictive file could prevent indexing of pages you want ranked, which is why reviewing the rules before publishing matters.

You can generate and regenerate the file as many times as your site's structure requires. Check your account or plan details for the specific terms that apply to your usage.

Support is available to review your rule configuration and confirm the file is being read correctly by crawlers, since most issues trace back to placement or an unintended rule rather than the file's syntax.
