What is Googlebot?

Googlebot is the primary web crawler deployed by Google to systematically browse the internet and collect information from publicly accessible web pages. This automated bot visits websites, follows links, and downloads page content, which is then processed and indexed by Google's search algorithms. The data gathered by Googlebot enables Google Search to provide relevant and up-to-date results to users. Website owners can manage how Googlebot interacts with their sites using the robots.txt file and meta tags. Googlebot operates from a range of IP addresses and identifies itself with the 'googlebot' user agent string in HTTP requests. Its crawling frequency and depth are determined by factors such as site popularity, update frequency, and Google's indexing priorities. Googlebot supports both desktop and mobile crawling to ensure comprehensive coverage of web content.
