Generate and test a robots.txt.

Add per-User-agent groups, attach Allow and Disallow rules (with wildcards and $ end-anchors), point at your sitemaps, and preview the resulting file live. Then paste a URL to see which rule the matcher picks and whether the page is allowed or blocked.

Editor

Each User-agent group is matched independently. A bot will use the most specific (longest Allow or Disallow) rule from the group that names it, falling back to the * group when nothing else applies. Paths are case-insensitive.
