How to block cocolyzebot
cocolyzebot is the crawler operated by Cocolyze, an SEO analytics platform that fetches pages to analyse rankings, backlinks, and on-page factors. This page shows the robots.txt token to target and why a Disallow steers only compliant fetchers.
What cocolyzebot is
cocolyzebot is the crawler used by Cocolyze, an SEO platform that analyses keyword rankings, backlinks, and on-page SEO. Its crawler fetches public pages to support those reports. Operators who do not want their site analysed can disallow it.
Match on the documented cocolyzebot user-agent token rather than a version string. The user agent is self-identifying and points at the operator.
- robots.txt token: cocolyzebot
- Operated by Cocolyze, an SEO analytics platform
- Purpose: ranking, backlink, and on-page analysis
robots.txt rule
To ask cocolyzebot to stay off your site:
User-agent: cocolyzebot Disallow: /
This targets only that token and leaves search and AI crawlers unaffected. robots.txt is honoured by compliant crawlers and is not enforcement; confirm with crawl behavior that the crawler backed off.
How it appears in analytics and logs
Requests carrying the cocolyzebot token are SEO-analytics crawl events, not human visits. If you did not initiate the analysis, a third party may be profiling your site; treat the hits as bot traffic.
Diagnostic use case
Stop an SEO-analytics crawler from fetching your pages when the analysis is not commissioned by you, and confirm the rule reached the correct token.
What WebmasterID can help detect
WebmasterID classifies cocolyzebot server-side as an SEO crawler and shows whether it keeps reaching your pages after a robots.txt rule is added.
Common mistakes
- Misspelling the cocolyzebot token so the rule never matches.
- Expecting robots.txt to enforce the block rather than request compliance.
- Counting SEO-crawler hits as human sessions.
Privacy and accuracy notes
Blocking cocolyzebot uses only the request user-agent token. No visitor identity is involved, and WebmasterID records the crawl as a bot event separate from human analytics.
