What is Idealo?

Idealo is Idealo internet GmbH's content aggregator. Germany's largest price comparison service.

Idealo collects and redistributes content from across the web, so pages it can reach may be surfaced to audiences well beyond your own site. Aggregated copies also become part of the corpus AI systems draw on, which makes it worth knowing what Idealo takes and how often.

Like any automated client, Idealo consumes crawl budget and appears in your server and CDN logs. Reviewing those logs alongside your robots.txt rules helps you keep automated traffic deliberate and easy to reason about.

Want to see every AI bot hitting your site? Promptwatch turns your server and CDN logs into a live view of AI crawler and agent traffic, so you can watch ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and others crawl your pages and connect those visits to real citations and revenue. Learn more in AI crawler logs.

See every AI bot hitting your site

Promptwatch turns your server and CDN logs into a live view of AI crawler and agent traffic. Watch ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and more crawl your pages in real time, see exactly what they take, and connect every crawl to the citations and revenue it drives.

How to handle Idealo

Allow Idealo if you want your content distributed through the feeds and apps it supplies. Disallow it if you would rather people reach that content only on your own site.

To control Idealo, add a rule for its user agent to your robots.txt:

User-agent: idealo-bot
Disallow: /

Idealo generally honors robots.txt directives.

Examples

  • A publisher checks how often Idealo pulls new articles and whether the aggregated version links back to the original.
  • An editor keeps Idealo allowed so new posts reach the readers of the apps it supplies.
