What ClarityBot does
ClarityBot is seoClarity's crawler. It crawls and audits pages for technical issues and analyzes content on behalf of seoClarity customers, with crawls triggered by clients running manual site audits or automated daily page crawls on their own websites. Customers can control the crawl speed and the crawl delay between page requests. It identifies itself with user agent strings containing ClarityBot/9.0 and a link to seoClarity's bot page.
How to control ClarityBot
Target ClarityBot in your robots.txt with the ClarityBot token. Rules apply per bot, so you can allow this one while blocking others, or the reverse.
Allow ClarityBot
User-agent: ClarityBot
Allow: /Block ClarityBot
User-agent: ClarityBot
Disallow: /seoClarity lists ClarityBot's IP addresses as dynamic, so the bot cannot be verified against a published IP range list.
How to identify ClarityBot
Temso identifies ClarityBottraffic by matching the request's User-Agent header against this pattern. User-agent strings can be spoofed, so treat a match as an indication, not proof.
ClarityBotClarityBot FAQ
What is ClarityBot?
ClarityBot is the crawler operated by the SEO platform seoClarity. It audits pages for technical issues and analyzes content, running site audits and daily page crawls that seoClarity customers trigger for their own websites.
How do I block ClarityBot?
ClarityBot respects robots.txt, so add a group with "User-agent: claritybot" and "Disallow: /" to block it. seoClarity notes that blocking it prevents SiteClarity Crawls, Daily Managed Page Crawls, and other automated analysis, and suggests contacting seoClarity support first, since crawls are typically requested by the site's own team.
About SEO & Analytics Crawlers
Crawlers behind SEO and marketing-intelligence platforms: backlink databases, site audits, rank tracking, and brand monitoring.
Blocking these has no effect on search or AI visibility. It mainly limits what third-party tools (including your competitors' tools) can see about your site.
