Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From ElevenlabsBot?
ElevenlabsBot makes isolated, on-demand requests rather than crawling your site. Traffic follows user demand, ranging from sporadic fetches to steady visits for a popular assistant.
Does ElevenlabsBot Follow Robots.txt Rules?
ElevenlabsBot is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step if you want to block it. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether ElevenlabsBot respects it.
Is ElevenlabsBot Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. ElevenlabsBot is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking ElevenlabsBot Affect AI Search or Citations?
Yes, for requests handled by ElevenlabsBot. Blocking it can prevent the assistant from retrieving your pages for an answer or linking to them, but a separate crawler may control automatic AI search indexing.
Does ElevenlabsBot Access Private Content?
Not ordinarily. ElevenlabsBot fetches pages as an anonymous visitor without a stored login. Content protected by a paywall or login remains out of reach.
How Can I Verify a Request From ElevenlabsBot?
Agent Analytics tracks ElevenlabsBot visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "ElevenlabsBot". Look for a single-page request with no follow-up navigation. Because ElevenlabsBot does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
How Is ElevenlabsBot Different From Other ElevenLabs Agents?
ElevenLabs operates separate agents for different purposes, so each agent should be evaluated and controlled independently.
