Proving you control the domain switches it to a daily scan and turns on change alerts, at no cost. It also lets you request removal from the public index.

crawlcensus-site-verification=91744af1495443dca42ce8ebf5e781d3

Verify

We check the DNS record first, then the file. Alerts go only to this address, and only when something changes.

What verification gets you no charge

A daily re-scan instead of the weekly corpus pass.
An email the moment a crawler is blocked or unblocked, an llms.txt appears or disappears, or the score moves by ten points.
Priority re-scan whenever you push a fix, so the public report reflects it quickly.
Removal from the public index on request, handled by replying to any alert.

Watching competitors, full-site crawls, history and API keys are the paid tiers. See pricing.
