      Is it possible to get Moz to do a crawl report on a domain blocked by robots.txt and actually display all errors instead of only one saying the domain was blocket in robots.txt? Anything i can add to robots.txt to make moz able to do the crawl report but still hinder google from crawling a staging domain?

        Hi there!

        I'm going to go ahead and marks this as answered since we took care of this in the support queue. For any others that are curious though, You can always add allow/disallow directives for Roger in your robots.txt. I recommend taking a look at our Help Hub for more info 🙂

        Thanks!

        • My question is, when you translate your website to another language, does moz crawl both or do i have to add another campaign to moz so that they can crawl it seperately?
