What is Amazonbot?
AI Search Crawler bot
What Amazonbot means for your site
Amazonbot proactively indexes your site for an AI-powered search engine, operated by Amazon. Unlike AI assistants that fetch on-demand, this bot discovers and catalogs your content so it can surface in AI search results. Being indexed means your content is eligible to appear when users search through AI platforms. Not being indexed means you are invisible in this channel.
What should you do?
- Allow Amazonbot to crawl your site
- Ensure your most important pages are accessible and well-structured
- Monitor which pages are being indexed through crawl activity
- Review robots.txt to ensure you are not accidentally blocking Amazonbot
How to identify Amazonbot
Amazonbot uses the user-agent "Amazonbot" and robots.txt compliance unconfirmed. It crawls systematically, similar to traditional search engine bots.

Should I block Amazonbot?

Is Amazonbot different from Googlebot?
Yes. Googlebot indexes for traditional Google Search. Amazonbot indexes for AI-powered search, which presents results differently, often as conversational answers with citations.
Does Amazonbot affect my site speed?
Like any crawler, Amazonbot consumes some server resources. If crawl rate is excessive, you can set a crawl-delay in robots.txt.
