TryPresenceBot
Last updated 27 October 2026
TryPresenceBot fetches a small number of public pages from a website only when someone who says they own the business, or are authorised by it, checks or orders a TryPresence audit of it. It always obeys robots.txt.
How to recognise it
Its user agent contains TryPresenceBot/1.0 and links to this page.
What it does
- Reads your homepage, robots.txt and a handful of linked public pages.
- Never logs in, submits forms, or fetches pages behind a password.
- Makes a small number of requests per audit, not a continuous crawl.
How to block it
Add this to your robots.txt:
User-agent: TryPresenceBot
Disallow: /
