IsaeoBot is the crawler behind isaeo's SEO and answer-engine audits. If you found it in your server logs, this page explains exactly what it is, what it requests, and how to control or block it.
| User-Agent | IsaeoBot/1.0 (+https://www.isaeo.com/bot) |
|---|---|
| Product token | IsaeoBot — use this in robots.txt |
| Requests | HTML pages, plus /robots.txt and /llms.txt.
We don't request images, scripts, stylesheets or media. |
| Rate | One page at a time, at least 0.3s apart. If your
robots.txt sets a Crawl-delay, we use that
instead (up to 10s). |
| Volume | Up to 50 pages per audit. We don't crawl continuously and we don't return on a schedule unless a customer re-runs an audit. |
One of two reasons. Either you or your agency asked us to audit your site — that's the normal case, and the crawl was started by a logged-in customer. Or an isaeo customer ran a competitor comparison that included your domain, to see how their own site's SEO measures up against yours.
In both cases we only read what a search engine reads: your public HTML. We don't submit forms, we don't attempt to log in, we don't execute your JavaScript, and we don't collect personal data from your pages.
We obey robots.txt on every crawl of a site our customer doesn't
own, and we fail closed: if we can't read your robots.txt, we
don't crawl at all.
User-agent: IsaeoBot Disallow: /
User-agent: IsaeoBot Disallow: /private/ Disallow: /admin/
User-agent: IsaeoBot Crawl-delay: 10
Changes take effect on our next visit — we read robots.txt fresh at
the start of every crawl, never from a cache.
One caveat worth knowing: naming IsaeoBot in its own group
means your User-agent: * rules stop applying to us, which is
correct per RFC 9309 but catches people out. If you want both, repeat the
directives you care about inside our group.
If IsaeoBot ignored your robots.txt, requested more than you'd
expect, or you want your domain excluded from competitor comparisons entirely,
contact us
with your domain and a few log lines. We'll investigate and confirm back.
Anything claiming to be IsaeoBot from an unexpected source may be spoofing our User-Agent — send us the logs and we'll help you tell the difference.
