Our crawler

Last updated: June 10, 2026

What this is

If you found this page from your server logs, you saw a request with this User-Agent:

Seenvia/1.0 (+https://seenvia.com/bots)

Seenvia is a service that helps local businesses understand and improve how they appear in AI search. Our crawler only visits a site when a business owner (or someone checking a business) asks us to audit that site or look up its public listings.

What it does

  • Fetches robots.txt, the homepage, and a small number of public pages.
  • Checks for structured data, business contact details, and AI-crawler access.
  • Rate-limits itself to at most one request every 2 seconds per domain.
  • Does not log in, submit forms, or access anything non-public.
  • Does not crawl the open web. It only visits a site when someone asks us to check that specific business — there is no scheduled or discovery crawling.

How to stop it

Because crawls are owner-requested site audits, we read robots.txt to report on it rather than as a permission system. If you’d rather we never visit your site, email hi@seenvia.com with the domain and we’ll exclude it.
