Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block A360-Search?
If you run ads, confirm A360-Search's purpose before blocking it. Some intelligence gatherers measure ad placements or evaluate pages for brand safety, and blocking those agents can interfere with advertising systems. If this one serves a different purpose, weigh any research visibility against sharing business or page-level data with third parties. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for A360-Search.
Does A360-Search Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. A360-Search is expected to follow robots.txt directives, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether A360-Search respects it.
Does A360-Search Access Private Content?
No special access. A360-Search can read publicly available pages but cannot bypass authentication. Assume anything you publish openly may be collected.
Why Is A360-Search Visiting My Website?
A client of Area360 may be gathering competitive intelligence, measuring advertisements, or evaluating content for brand safety. The pages requested reflect that client's objective.
How Can I Tell if A360-Search Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks A360-Search visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "A360-Search". Look for repeated requests to the same small group of commercial or ad-supported pages. Because A360-Search does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
