About GeogizeBot
Last updated: 13 August 2026
If you've seen GeogizeBot in your server logs, this page explains what it is, what it does, and how to control it. Geogize audits websites for AI visibility, so it wouldn't make sense for our own crawler to disguise itself as a browser to get past the same bot protections it's checking. It identifies itself honestly, the same way GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot do.
Formerly AeobleBot
Geogize was previously called Aeoble, and the crawler identified itself as AeobleBot. During the transition, the user-agent string includes both names so nothing that already allow-listed AeobleBot silently stops being recognised.
What it does
- Only crawls a site when someone submits that URL to a Geogize audit (the free checker or the developer API). It never crawls unprompted.
- Fetches the homepage, plus up to four additional pages discovered via on-site navigation links.
- Separately checks for
robots.txt,llms.txt, andsitemap.xmlat the site root. - Respects the site's
robots.txtfor its own crawling, the same as any other well-behaved bot. - Never follows a redirect to a different domain, and caps how much it reads from any single page.
How to allow or block it
Standard robots.txt directives work: target User-agent: GeogizeBot to allow or disallow it specifically. Blocking it means Geogize can't complete an audit of your site; it won't retry through another route.
