How do I cancel a crawl request?

[mkbeesto]

I was farting around and exploring the Crawl Test tool, and accidentally sent out a crawl for a competitor's site (I wanted to see if the tool would decline to crawl without verification). I do NOT want to actually crawl that site, nor do I want the competitor to see that we requested it (for obvious reasons) - how do I cancel it?

I don't believe there's a way from the user side to cancel a crawl. However, your competitor won't get notified of anything. Moz doesn't have their email address or phone number to contact them.

The tool crawls their site like Google, Yahoo, Ahrefsbot, Majesticbot, and all the other web search engines do. They will not even notice that you ran this accidentally. It's similar to doing a crawl of a site with any other search engine or tool.

It will literally never come to this but if they question it, blame your SEO guy. Everyone else does. lol Say "my SEO guy must be doing some competitor research."  Us SEO guys do that all the time for pretty much every client. We'd not really be doing our job if we didn't.
