GlovalAdsBot
The GLOVAL AI crawler that reads a site once to prepare an ad plan.
What is GlovalAdsBot?
GlovalAdsBot runs when someone preparing an ad plan with GLOVAL Ads enters a site address. It reads the site once, at that moment. It does not crawl regularly like a search engine, index pages or republish content.
User agent string
It appears in your server logs with this string:
GlovalAdsBot/1.0 (+https://gloval.ai/bot)What does it read?
- The public home page and at most 2 additional pages (for example an about or products page).
- It reads robots.txt first and follows its rules; pages that are not allowed are not opened.
- It does not enter pages that require a login, submit forms or try to get past firewalls or “human verification” pages.
How to block or allow it
If your robots.txt has a separate group for GlovalAdsBot, that group applies instead of the “User-agent: *” group (the group name is case-insensitive: “glovaladsbot”).
To block it:
User-agent: GlovalAdsBot
Disallow: /To allow it:
User-agent: GlovalAdsBot
Allow: /If robots.txt or an access control blocks GlovalAdsBot, we stop and do not try to bypass it. Allowing the crawler is optional. We do not publish a fixed IP range; configure any firewall rule only if it fits your security policy.
