QualifiedBot

QualifiedBot is a bot operated by Qualified that fetches single pages on demand for an AI assistant. QualifiedBot is Qualified's web crawler that analyzes customer websites to provide contextual information for their AI-powered chatbots and conversational marketing platf…. No IP range list or reverse-DNS convention is published, so a request carrying this user agent cannot be proven genuine and a robots.txt rule alone will not stop a forgery.

FAQ

QualifiedBot questions

What is QualifiedBot?

QualifiedBot is a bot operated by Qualified that fetches single pages on demand for an AI assistant. QualifiedBot is Qualified's web crawler that analyzes customer websites to provide contextual information for their AI-powered chatbots and conversational marketing platf…. No IP range list or reverse-DNS convention is published, so a request carrying this user agent cannot be proven genuine and a robots.txt rule alone will not stop a forgery.

Does QualifiedBot respect robots.txt?

Not documented. No operator statement says whether QualifiedBot reads robots.txt, so add the rule but verify in your logs that the requests actually stop.

How do I verify a request really came from QualifiedBot?

You cannot, at least not from the request itself. No IP range file and no reverse-DNS convention have been published for this agent. The user-agent string is the only signal, and any client can send it, so treat a match as a claim rather than proof. Compare the source IP against hosting and datacenter ranges instead, and rate limit anything that behaves like a crawler.

How do I block QualifiedBot?

Add the QualifiedBot token to robots.txt with Disallow: /. If the crawler ignores robots.txt, match the user agent at your CDN or reverse proxy and return 403 there instead.

Will blocking QualifiedBot hurt my search rankings?

Blocking QualifiedBot means a person who asks about one of your URLs gets an error instead of a summary. That is a support and reputation trade-off, not a training one.
