What is Seobility?

Seobility crawls a site because someone added that site as a project in Seobility's SEO software. It follows internal links in a search-crawler-like way, then reports what it found to the project user. It does not operate a public search index.

A project crawl produces more than 100 reports covering the site's technical setup, metadata, structure, and content. Project users can start another crawl after fixes or schedule recurring crawls, which explains why the bot may return in batches rather than maintain a continuous discovery crawl.

Seobility says its crawler considers the site's robots.txt, noindex, and nofollow signals. A project owner can also configure custom robots instructions inside Seobility. When that option is used, the crawler follows the project copy instead of the site's live robots file, so server logs remain the final check on what was requested.

Any search benefit is indirect. The reports may help a site owner fix issues that later affect conventional or AI-assisted search visibility, but Seobility itself does not rank the pages or supply an AI answer index. There is no documented model-training use for this crawl.

Relevant for AI search

Is Seobility relevant for AI search?

Yes. Seobility collects pages for an AI product, so what it can crawl influences how AI systems describe your brand.

Seobility feeds a search index that also powers that engine's AI answer features and overviews. One crawl can serve a classic results page and a generated summary, so blocking it costs you both the rankings you would expect and a growing share of AI answers built on the same index.

How to handle Seobility

Allow Seobility when an authorized team is auditing the site. If nobody recognizes the project, verify the request and block it rather than assuming every SEO crawl was requested by the site owner.

Use the stable robots token to stop the crawl:

User-agent: Seobility
Disallow: /

Seobility says a specific group replaces the wildcard rules it would otherwise follow, so repeat every restriction you need inside that group. Its full HTTP header begins with SeobilityBot, and the operator publishes current bot IP addresses for further verification.

Examples

  • An SEO team schedules a recrawl after fixing canonical tags and compares the new Seobility reports with the previous optimization score.
  • A staging-site owner permits Seobility to audit the release candidate while keeping the host unavailable to general search crawlers.
