Should you block LinkupBot?

Not if you want to be found. Blocking it can keep your pages out of the Linkup index that AI applications query for search and grounding.

robots.txt
User-agent: LinkupBot
Disallow: /

Asks LinkupBot not to crawl any page. Add it to the robots.txt file at the root of your site, above any wider rules.

Ignored robots.txt?

Spot it in your logs.

Match the name, then check where the request came from. Anyone can copy a user-agent.

Version numbers change. Match the highlighted name, not the whole string.

    Match the name

    Search your server or CDN log for LinkupBot, case-insensitive. A match is a clue, not proof.

  2. 2

    Check the published IP ranges

    Linkup says to require both a source IP in this list and a user-agent containing LinkupBot. www.linkup.so/linkupbot-ips.txt

Serve the content in HTML

The cited operator material does not verify JavaScript rendering. Serve useful HTML before client-side JavaScript where possible.

Linkup says robots.txt applies per host, so subdomains may need their own file, and that allowing LinkupBot through a firewall does not override robots.txt. Do not confuse it with the LinkUp jobs crawler from linkup.com.
