01 / THE ATTACKThey make up website addresses.
Your real page might be /services/. A bot keeps visiting fake versions of it with random junk tacked onto the address, or asks for pages that do not exist.
Bots are secretley working beneath the surface to sabotage your website, we expose it.

BotExorcist records what requests came in, who sent them, what they tried, and whether the firewall stopped them. AI-assisted tools can help turn that history into readable summaries so you are not stuck decoding server logs.
See suspicious patterns, repeat networks and the details that matter for a support case or abuse complaint. Which AI services run depends on the edition and configuration.
Explore AI intelligence →A bot does not need to break into WordPress to cause harm. It can keep asking for made-up, fabricated links that don't exist, overload your server with useless requests and leave Google chasing URLs that never existed. Google then spends crawl budget investigating, and if it happens often enough, it's why pages aren't getting indexed, affecting traffic. Here is what that means in plain English.
01 / THE ATTACKYour real page might be /services/. A bot keeps visiting fake versions of it with random junk tacked onto the address, or asks for pages that do not exist.
02 / THE SEO DAMAGEWhen Google discovers lots of those fake addresses, it may use crawling time checking them instead of finding or revisiting your real pages. That can delay new pages being discovered and indexed. An ordinary 404 on its own is not a ranking penalty.
03 / THE SERVER DAMAGEEvery pointless request uses some of your server's capacity. A flood of them can slow the site or make pages temporarily unavailable. When Google finds your server struggling, it may crawl fewer pages or give up if this happens often enough, which means pages don't show up on Google.
04 / THE REDIRECT PROBLEMBots make up fake addresses for your website and put them where Google can find them. If your website responds to one with a 301 redirect, Google is told that address has moved, even though you never set up that redirect yourself. Google may drop that fake address from search and follow the destination. If the same problem redirects one of your real pages, that page can lose its place in search and cost you traffic. Meanwhile, Google is wasting time checking made-up addresses instead of discovering your new pages.
BotExorcist records the requests, where they came from and the action taken. It can block repeated abuse while preserving real customers and verified search crawlers. Our pros calibrate the rules to your website, so you do not have to babysit the firewall.
BotExorcist has two clear jobs: SEO Firewall investigates hostile website traffic looking to ruin your SEO and rankings; PPC Integrity investigates what happened after an advertising click to determine if your clicks your paid for was human or bot traffic. They share a traffic-intelligence layer run by ai that create a traffic intelligence report, automatically documents abuse and sends automatic abuse emails to the servers hosting the abusers and stores it as evidence. PPC click integrity audits also determine if the clicks that you paid for were bots, writes reports with evidence and sends it to Bing, Google and Meta ads to report erroneous traffic that you shouldn't be paying for.

We configure BotExorcist to your WordPress environment, review legitimate traffic, and calibrate protection gradually before full enforcement.

Your website unbeknownst to you is under constant bot attack that create 404's, 301 redirects, 1 second bounces to diminish dwell time that tells google your page isn't worth reading, which makes it rank poorly, while hitting your site every few seconds making requests to slow your server in order to make it slower with junk queries. Botexorcist blocks that in order to protect server resources for others who are there legitimately to see your product.
Some bots hit pages that do not exist, make up strange links or pretend to be Google. Other visitors arrive from paid ads and leave without doing anything. BotExorcist shows you the requests and behaviour behind those visits, so you can see what is happening and what action was taken.
