What is GrimlaBot?

GrimlaBot is the dedicated web crawler for Grimla, a platform focused on verifying online shops and maintaining a directory of legitimate e-commerce businesses. Unlike general-purpose AI crawlers, its primary function is to index public-facing business details to ensure the accuracy of the Grimla verification service. It adheres to standard web protocols, including respect for robots.txt directives and meta tag exclusions, ensuring site owners maintain control over their data.

Helpful — It operates transparently, respects robots.txt, and provides clear opt-out mechanisms for site owners.
