Frequently asked

What is ClaudeBot?

ClaudeBot is Anthropic's web crawling agent. It indexes public pages to help train Claude and to keep Claude's knowledge of the web up to date. If your page is publicly accessible and adds useful information, it may influence how Claude answers questions about your domain.

Does allowing ClaudeBot guarantee Claude will cite my site?

No. Allowing ClaudeBot means Anthropic can crawl your content — but citation depends on content quality, authority, and relevance to the query. It is a prerequisite, not a guarantee.
