Googlebot is a special program, also known as a web crawler or spider, used by Google to explore and scan websites across the internet. Think of it as a digital visitor that checks out web pages to gather information and add them to Google’s index.

It starts by visiting a webpage and then follows links to discover more pages. Along the way, it collects details like text, images, keywords, and links. This data helps Google decide how to rank pages in search results.

Googlebot also checks if websites are mobile-friendly, load quickly, and are easy to navigate. Website owners can guide Googlebot using a robots.txt file to tell it which pages to crawl or ignore.

In short, Googlebot is like a librarian that organizes web content, making it easy for people to find what they’re searching for online.
