Definition

CCBot fetches pages for the Common Crawl corpus. robots.txt rules for CCBot affect whether new snapshots of your site enter that archive.

In practice

  • Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
  • Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
  • Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
