Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block AndiAgent?
Usually not. Blocking AndiAgent keeps your pages out of its AI search results and can eliminate referral traffic from that channel. It does not improve traditional search rankings. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for AndiAgent.
Does AndiAgent Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. AndiAgent is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether AndiAgent respects it.
Does AndiAgent Access Private Content?
No special access. AndiAgent can reach only content available to anonymous visitors. Make sure staging sites and other sensitive areas require authentication.
How Can I Tell if AndiAgent Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks AndiAgent visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "AndiAgent". Look for bursts that follow links across several pages and recur over time. Because AndiAgent does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
Why Is AndiAgent Visiting My Website?
AndiAgent is updating an AI search index so your pages can appear in its results. It may have discovered your site through links, a sitemap, or mentions of your domain.
