Beep site checker · BeepSiteCheck
It is the site checker of the “Search and AI” feature in Beep Marketing. Beep Africa runs it for its own clients, and it only checks websites the client has proved they own. This page explains what it does and how to stop it.
Verified websites only
A Beep client adds their website in Beep Marketing and proves ownership in one of three ways. A website that is not verified is never checked.
The owner puts a small text file, beep-site-check-<code>.txt, at the root of the website.
Or adds a beep-site-verification meta tag to the home page.
Or shows that their Google account already owns the website in Google Search Console.
Ownership is checked again when the proof is more than 30 days old. If it fails, checks stop.
How it behaves
It follows the rules for BeepSiteCheck, or for * when there are none.
It only visits pages on the website being checked, plus its www or https version.
It never fills in forms, never signs in and skips sign-in, admin, cart, search and feed pages.
It reads pages one after another, slowly, so your website is not slowed down.
It stops reading a page after 2 MB, and gives up on a page after 20 seconds.
It never visits private, local or reserved network addresses.
User agent
Every request from the site checker carries this User-Agent. To keep it out, add a group for BeepSiteCheck to your robots.txt; it reads robots.txt before every check.

What it reads
The site checker reads what search engines read and reports it to the client who owns the website, so they can fix problems. Results are kept for that client only, never shared with or sold to anyone else.
Talk to a human
If BeepSiteCheck visits a website you own and you did not ask for it, tell us and we will look into it.
