What GeedoProductFinder does
GeedoProductFinder is the crawler for Geedo, a product search engine. It indexes publicly accessible product pages directly from online stores and distributes the results across Geedo's regional sites based on each shop's location. It uses the robots.txt user agent token GeedoProductFinder, and Geedo states that it follows robots.txt rules, rate limits, and restrictions set by site owners, including Crawl-delay. Geedo's own page also uses the name GeedoShopProductFinder, so you may see either name in your logs. The crawler operates only from 83.99.206.0/24.
How to control GeedoProductFinder
Target GeedoProductFinder in your robots.txt with the GeedoProductFinder token. Rules apply per bot, so you can allow this one while blocking others, or the reverse.
Allow GeedoProductFinder
User-agent: GeedoProductFinder
Allow: /Block GeedoProductFinder
User-agent: GeedoProductFinder
Disallow: /Geedo publishes its crawler IP range, 83.99.206.0/24, as an IPv4 text list at geedo.com/product-finder/ips-v4.txt and as JSON at geedo.com/product-finder/ips.json. To verify a request, run a reverse DNS lookup on the IP, check that the hostname ends with .geedo.com, then confirm that the hostname resolves back to the same IP.

About Search Engine Crawlers
Classic search indexers that now also feed AI features: Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode build on Googlebot's index, and Microsoft Copilot builds on Bingbot's.
Blocking these removes you from both traditional rankings and the AI answers built on top of those indexes, usually the most costly block of all.
