# VOQUA.AI — robots.txt
#
# We explicitly welcome AI crawlers. The product is discovered today
# almost entirely through AI-engine answers (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude,
# Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Overviews). Blocking those crawlers would
# remove us from the discovery surface buyers actually use.
#
# Authentication-gated routes (/api, /admin, /onboarding, /auth) are
# disallowed so crawlers don't waste budget on pages they cannot index.

# ─── AI crawlers — explicit allow (public pages only) ─────────────────
# These crawlers are explicitly welcomed. /api/ is excluded because it
# returns JSON for the app, not indexable content.
