content-signals
Crawl permission and usage permission are different things. Content Signals let you state, per purpose, whether your content may be used for AI training, classic search, or AI answer input — independent of whether a bot may crawl.
Why it matters
Crawl permission and usage permission are different things. Content Signals let you state, per purpose, whether your content may be used for AI training, classic search, or AI answer input — independent of whether a bot may crawl.
How to detect
Check robots.txt for one or more Content-Signal: directives.
How to implement
Add a Content-Signal line to robots.txt (it applies to the preceding User-agent group, or globally under User-agent: *):
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Content-Signal: ai-train=no, search=yes, ai-input=yes
ai-train— may content be used to train models?search— may content appear in search indexes?ai-input— may content be retrieved as context for AI answers?
How to verify
curl -s https://YOURDOMAIN/robots.txt | grep -i 'Content-Signal' returns your directive.
