Questions

Does robots.txt hide pages from Google?

No. It tells well-behaved crawlers not to visit pages, but a blocked page can still appear in search if other sites link to it. To keep a page out of search results, allow crawling and add a noindex meta tag instead.

Should I block AI crawlers?

It is a business decision. Blocking training bots like GPTBot or ClaudeBot keeps your content out of future training data. Blocking search bots like OAI-SearchBot or PerplexityBot also means your pages won’t be cited in those AI answers, which can cost traffic.

Where does the file go?

At the root of your domain, so it opens at https://your-domain.com/robots.txt. Subdomains need their own file. Test it in Google Search Console under Settings, robots.txt.
