Why Better Robots.txt feels different
Not a blank textarea
Better Robots.txt turns robots.txt into a guided workflow with presets, explanations, and a final review step.
Built for modern crawling
Search engines, AI crawlers, SEO tools, archive bots, and bad bots do not all deserve the same treatment.
Useful for beginners
You can start safely with a preset and still inspect the final output before it goes live.
Useful for experts
Core WordPress protections stay visible, paid editions unlock deeper controls, and outputs stay readable.
Which preset should I choose?
Essential
Best for: most WordPress sites that want a cleaner robots.txt without complexity.
AI-First
Best for: publishers and content teams that want AI-ready governance without shutting down discovery.
Fortress
Best for: protection-first sites that want stricter archive, bot, and crawl controls.
Custom
Best for: advanced users who want to build their own policy module by module.
Why this matters in the AI era
Search engines, AI assistants, archive services, and scrapers do not all use your site the same way. Some index pages for classic search. Some use pages to answer questions in real time. Some train models. Some simply copy. Better Robots.txt helps you state a clearer crawl policy for each category.
Built for real website types
Publishers and content teams
Use AI-First when AI usage policy matters to your business.
Protection-first sites
Use Fortress when archive and scraping exposure matter more.
