Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block EzoicBot?
Decide who benefits. EzoicBot collects pricing, product, and brand data for its operator's clients, and those clients can include your competitors. Allow it if visibility in market research matters to you. Block it if you would rather not hand competitors structured data about your business. Almost none of the top websites we track have robots.txt rules for EzoicBot right now.
Does EzoicBot Respect Robots.txt?
Yes. EzoicBot is expected to honor robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the right first move. Automatic Robots.txt adds and maintains that rule for you, and Agent Analytics confirms EzoicBot actually honors it.
Does EzoicBot Access Private Content?
Public business information is the target. Pricing pages, product listings, and announcements are what its clients pay for. EzoicBot has no special access, but assume everything you publish openly gets collected.
Why Is EzoicBot Visiting My Website?
A client of Ezoic is monitoring your market, your brand, or you specifically. Expect EzoicBot's visits to concentrate on pages with business value, like pricing and product pages.
How Can I Tell if EzoicBot Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks EzoicBot visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user agent string contains "EzoicBot". Look for repeated visits to pricing, product, and news pages. Keep in mind that EzoicBot doesn't publish a verification method, so any client can claim its user agent string and a log match is a hint rather than proof.
