How the Robots.txt Generator works
Build a conservative robots.txt draft with a user agent, optional disallow paths, and sitemap location.
Planning labels: Advanced level; High / Competitive editorial opportunity. Editorial planning label only — not live Google keyword difficulty, search volume, rank probability, or Google Ads competition.
Method
Normalizes each path and emits User-agent, Disallow, and Sitemap lines. A robots rule is not access control.
Example
Disallow: /staging/ asks compliant crawlers not to crawl that path, but it does not make the path private.
Practical uses
- Create a transparent first-pass result without sending inputs to a remote service.
- Compare alternatives and spot issues before publishing or spending budget.
- Copy or download the output, then review it against your real website and campaign goals.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Robots.txt Generator use live Google or advertising data?
No. The tool works only with the values you enter. It does not crawl websites, query search volume, connect to ad accounts, or claim to know live rankings.
Are my inputs uploaded or stored?
No. The calculation or text transformation runs locally in your browser. This tool does not submit its form values to the website.
Should I publish the output without review?
Review every output in context. Platform rules, technical configurations, campaign attribution, legal requirements, and business assumptions can change the correct implementation.
