EmmanuelReachBot

The business-profile scanner behind the EmmanuelReach AI business scan.

What it does

When someone asks EmmanuelReach AI to scan a business, they submit the address of that business’s public web page. EmmanuelReachBot fetches that page and reads what it publicly shows, such as the business name, description and contact details, to build a business profile.

  • It starts from the page a user submitted. It may also fetch a small number of pages on the same site that the submitted page links to — six pages in total by default. It does not crawl a whole site.
  • It does not sign in, solve CAPTCHAs, or try to get past a page that refuses it. If the submitted page answers 401 or 403, the scan stops there.
  • It only fetches when a user asks for a scan.

How it identifies itself

Every request it makes carries this user agent:

EmmanuelReachBot/1.0 (+https://emmanuelreachai.com/bot; business profile scanner)

How to block it

Refuse requests whose user agent contains EmmanuelReachBot at your server, CDN or firewall, for example with a 403 response. The scanner stops when the page it was given refuses it.

EmmanuelReachBot does not read robots.txt yet, so a User-agent: EmmanuelReachBot rule there will not stop it today. Blocking by user agent will.
