If you found this page, you probably saw topicsearch-crawler in your server logs. That was us. Hello.
The crawler belongs to fatgrid.com, a tool that helps companies find relevant websites to feature their products or businesses. It is used for marketing, SEO, and AI visibility. When our clients search for a topic, we can only recommend websites we have actually read. That is why we crawl: to understand what topics your website covers.
Being in our index costs you nothing and can quietly work in your favor. Clients discover your website as a reputable source for their business topic, and some of them will want to work with you.
We try to be a polite guest. We read only public pages, we respect robots.txt, we identify ourselves in every request with a working contact email, and we are gentle on server load, usually minutes between visits to one site.
If you would rather we stay away, no hard feelings. Write to [email protected] and we will remove your website permanently, or block User-agent: topicsearch-crawler in your robots.txt. If we ever caused you any inconvenience, we apologize.
