# AI Bot Tracking has been discontinued TruboRankAI has discontinued AI Bot Tracking. New event collection, tracker installations, and tracking exports are disabled. The service is no longer included in any subscription. Canonical URL: https://truborankai.com/blog/ai-bot-tracking-discontinued Author: TruboRankAI Published: October 27, 2026 Updated: October 27, 2026 ## Quick Answer AI Bot Tracking is no longer available in TruboRankAI. Remove the old TruboRankAI tracking snippet from your website. Website scans, readiness reports, Google Search Console integration, and AI optimization tools continue separately. ## AI Summary This official service notice explains the retirement of TruboRankAI AI Bot Tracking, the effect on Free and Pro workspaces, how to remove legacy installations, and the difference between scan-based crawler access checks and continuous event collection. ## Main Explanation We are retiring AI Bot Tracking from the TruboRankAI product. Tracking is no longer a Free or Pro capability, and buying, renewing, or changing a subscription will not restore it. This applies to tracking supported AI crawlers and search crawlers through the TruboRankAI tracker. The tracking service no longer accepts new events, and new tracker setup, key generation, downloads, and exports are disabled. We are making the product boundary explicit so website owners can decide what TruboRankAI provides before subscribing. Our active workflow remains centered on website diagnostics and practical optimization: run a scan, review the measured findings, decide which issue matters, implement a bounded change, and verify the result. Continuous crawler event collection is no longer part of that workflow. Existing tracking installations should be removed from your website. An old snippet may still try to contact the retired endpoint until you remove it or update the installed file. Those requests do not create new tracking records. Leaving an installation in place does not keep a private tracking account active and does not unlock another reporting source. ## What remains available Website scans and saved readiness reports continue independently of AI Bot Tracking. The scanner can still inspect public discoverability signals such as robots.txt, sitemaps, page structure, and AI-readable resources. These checks describe what the scan observed at the time it ran. They do not require a tracking snippet on the scanned website. Google Search Console integration, AI SEO Consultant, content planning, and the other available optimization tools remain separate capabilities, subject to their existing access rules and plan limits. Search Console metrics describe their own measured search performance. A scan result or a Search Console metric should not be presented as a replacement count for retired bot visits. ## Remove a legacy installation For a browser installation, find the script tag that loads TruboRankAI bot-tracker.js and remove that tag. Check shared layouts, theme headers, tag managers, and any custom code area where you originally added it. Keep unrelated analytics scripts and your normal website scripts in place. For a PHP installation, remove the TruboRankAI tracker include or require statement and the tracker-specific configuration that you added with it. Remove the tracker file only after confirming that no remaining template includes it. If a developer installed the integration, ask them to check the shared bootstrap and deployment templates as well as individual pages. After removal, refresh the website and check representative public pages. Clear a page cache or CDN cache if it still serves the old snippet. Confirm that normal navigation and forms work and that the browser no longer sends requests to the TruboRankAI bot-hit endpoint. You do not need to weaken robots rules, firewall protections, or private-route access controls to remove the tracker. ## Historical information and next steps The retired tracking interface is removed from ordinary user workspaces. An internal administrator reference interface remains, but this is not an active customer tracking service. Retirement does not promise continued access to historical event details or exports. Previously published case-study snapshots are dated historical evidence and must not be interpreted as a live feed. If you need ongoing crawler request evidence, review the logs already available through your own hosting or delivery infrastructure and document what those logs actually cover. Keep crawler requests separate from indexing, mentions, citations, and human referrals. None of those outcomes should be inferred from a request count alone. For TruboRankAI, continue with a current website scan and use its findings to choose the next improvement. ## Practical Steps 1. Remove the legacy browser script or PHP tracker include from your website. 2. Refresh public pages and clear caches that still contain the old integration. 3. Verify that the site works and no longer sends requests to the retired endpoint. 4. Run a current readiness scan and review Search Console separately when connected. ## FAQ ### Can a Pro subscription restore AI Bot Tracking? No. AI Bot Tracking has been discontinued and is not included in any subscription. Upgrading, renewing, or changing plans will not reactivate it. ### Do I need the old tracker for website scans? No. Website scans inspect public website signals independently of the retired tracker. Remove the old tracking integration and keep using the scan workflow. ### Does this disable AI crawler access checks? No. Scan-based checks of public crawler access remain separate from continuous collection of bot visits. A readiness finding is not a recorded visit count. ### Are the published case studies still live tracking reports? No. Published case-study snapshots describe dated historical evidence. They are not a live feed and do not imply that event collection remains active. ## Editorial Methodology First-party service announcement based on the TruboRankAI retirement release.
