## What is AwarioBot?

AwarioBot is a legitimate web crawler operated by the web and social media monitoring platform, Awario. Its function is to discover and collect new or updated public content from websites, blogs, and forums. The bot is part of a family of crawlers, including `AwarioSmartBot` and `AwarioRssBot`, that work together to track brand mentions and online conversations for Awario's clients. It identifies itself clearly in server logs with user-agent strings like `Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; AwarioBot/1.0; +https://awario.com/bots.html)`. A key characteristic is its polite crawling behavior, designed to make requests slowly (one per three seconds, or less if specified in `robots.txt`) to minimize server impact.


## Why is AwarioBot crawling my site?

AwarioBot is visiting your website because your public content likely contains mentions of brands, products, or topics that Awario's customers are monitoring. The bot scans for specific keywords and phrases but does not target sensitive or private information. It typically visits a page only once for analysis, unless the content is updated and needs to be refreshed in Awario's database. The frequency of its visits depends on how often your site publishes new content that matches the monitoring queries set by Awario users.


## What is the purpose of AwarioBot?

The primary purpose of AwarioBot is to collect the data that powers Awario's social listening and brand monitoring service. This service helps businesses track their online presence, analyze customer sentiment, manage their reputation, and identify potential sales leads. The content collected by the bot is fed into Awario's analytics platform, providing valuable insights for marketers and brand managers. While the service primarily benefits Awario's customers, website owners may see indirect benefits if their content is discovered by brands seeking industry insights or potential partners.
