What is ZutrixBot?

ZutrixBot is a web crawler: a program that visits public web pages and reads their content. The data it collects builds the database behind the Zutrix SEO platform, which website owners and marketers use for search engine optimization (SEO) reports and analysis. ZutrixBot identifies itself with the user-agent string above and follows the rules in your robots.txt file.

Questions? We have answers

Does ZutrixBot respect robots.txt files?

Yes. ZutrixBot follows both the allow and disallow rules in your robots.txt file.

How do I control ZutrixBot on my website?

ZutrixBot follows the robots.txt file on your website, so you're in full control. To slow the crawler down, add these lines to your robots.txt:

User-agent: ZutrixBot
Crawl-Delay: 10

To block ZutrixBot completely:

User-agent: ZutrixBot
Disallow: /

What does ZutrixBot do with the data it collects?

ZutrixBot gathers publicly available page data to build the database behind the Zutrix SEO platform. Zutrix users then see that data in their SEO reports and analysis. The crawler does not collect private or password-protected content.

How can I verify that a crawler is really ZutrixBot?

Check the user-agent string and the IP address. Genuine ZutrixBot requests use the user-agent string listed on this page and come from 116.202.25.255, which resolves back to zutrix.com or zutrix.net.
