The Alli AI web crawler is a key component of our SEO automation platform. It systematically scans and analyzes websites to collect data, enabling intelligent, automated optimizations that improve search engine rankings.
Unlike general search engine crawlers that index random websites, the Alli AI crawler only accesses sites that users have explicitly added to our platform. By doing so, users authorize Alli AI to:
When accessing websites, the Alli AI crawler identifies itself with the following user-agent strings:
Desktop:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/122.0.6261.0 Safari/537.36 AlliAI/1.0 (+https://www.alliai.com/crawler)
Mobile:Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 15_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.4 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1 AlliAI/1.0 (+https://www.alliai.com/crawler)
Note: Site owners only need to check for the “AlliAI” part of the user-agent string, as the rest may change over time.
In addition to our crawler, we also have a bot that may be identified using the following user-agent string:AlliAI/1.0 (+https://www.alliai.com/crawler)
This bot is primarily used to fetch separate files, such as downloading a website’s favicon or retrieving assets like scripts, styles, and images for optimization purposes.
The Alli AI user-agent adheres to the rules specified in a site’s robots.txt
file. To manage its access, site owners can define directives within their robots.txt
file.
Crawling frequency varies based on user settings and website size, ensuring minimal impact on server resources.
