Summary
2 of 12 AI crawlers OK · 10 of 12 blocked in robots.txt · robots.txt present · llms.txt missing
robots.txt + llms.txt only (no live homepage fetches with AI crawler User-Agents); run a free check for the full test. CrawlDiff reports what our fetches saw. It does not guarantee AI citations or indexing. robots.txt is advisory: well-behaved crawlers follow it, others may ignore it, and it is not proof of live access.
Notes
Allow overrides Disallow: / for OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User: the homepage is allowed, but most other URLs stay blocked for those bots.

CrawlDiff Watch re-checks bloomberg.com every 12 hours and emails you when an AI crawler gets newly blocked or llms.txt breaks.
