DirectoriesBot

DirectoriesBot is a targeted crawler operated by Driven Success LLC designed to verify that websites maintain required reciprocal links for business directory listings. Unlike general-purpose crawlers, it does not index content, train AI models, or store page data; it simply fetches a specific URL to confirm the existence of a link. The bot is highly transparent, providing cryptographic signatures for verification and clear documentation on its limited scope and behavior.

The bot crawls to ensure that businesses participating in link directories fulfill their agreement to link back to the directory. By fetching only the specific page where a listing is expected, it minimizes server load and avoids unnecessary data collection. Operators can verify the bot's identity through RFC 9421-compliant HTTP message signatures, ensuring that the requests are legitimate and originate from the official service.
