What a bot for ads, link previews or SEO tools does
These bots work for a specific product: checking an ad's landing page, drawing the preview when a link is shared, or collecting data for an SEO tool. Some only visit because the site owner asked them to.
Block or allow SplitSignalBot in robots.txt
