ClocotLeadEngine

What it is

ClocotLeadEngine is the automated reader of Clocot, operated by LexLupi LLC. It visits the public website of a business listed in open business directories (such as Overture Maps) and reads the contact details that business publishes about itself: its contact, about and team pages.

How it behaves

• It names itself in every request: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ClocotLeadEngine/1.0; +https://www.clocot.com/bot).
• It reads /robots.txt first and asks for nothing a site disallows. A robots.txt that does not answer counts as a refusal.
• It reads at most four pages of a site in one visit, one page at a time, with short timeouts.
• It never submits forms, signs in, passes a paywall or tries to get around a block.
• It keeps only what a business published about itself (name, contact addresses, people named on the site, description, logo address), with the page it came from.
• An address on a site that says it does not accept unsolicited messages is never used for a cold e-mail.

Keeping it away from your site

Add these two lines to your robots.txt. The reader checks it before every visit:

User-agent: ClocotLeadEngine
Disallow: /

To have your business removed and never collected again, write to office@clocot.com with your domain. We delete what we hold and keep only a one-way fingerprint of the domain, so it is skipped from then on.
