Say how AI may use your content
Content Signals are a line in robots.txt that states how your content may be used after it is crawled: in search results, in AI answers and for AI training. RankFlect SEO writes the line for you from three switches.
What it does
Content Signals
- Three choices: search, AI answers (ai-input) and AI training (ai-train), each yes or no.
- Turned on, the defaults allow search and AI answers and opt out of AI training.
- The line goes right under “User-agent: *” in the robots.txt WordPress and RankFlect SEO generate, with a short comment.
- Your AI crawler blocks, extra rules and the sitemap line stay as they are.
- If you serve your own robots.txt file, the card shows the exact line to add by hand.
- Off by default, and every change is in the Change Log with undo.

FAQ
Content Signals: questions
Does a Content Signal block AI crawlers?
No. It states your preference for how the content is used. To stop a bot from fetching your pages, use the AI crawler switches on the same tab.
Do AI companies have to follow it?
No. Content Signals are a voluntary standard from contentsignals.org. They tell crawler operators what you allow, but they are not enforced.
Will it change my Google rankings?
No. The search signal only says you allow search results with links. It does not change how pages are ranked.
