Operator	DataForSEO · dataforseo.com
Purpose	SEO and backlink crawlers. Commercial indexes sold to marketers. Blocking them hides you from their customers, not from Google.
User-agent contains	`dataforseobot`
robots.txt	`User-agent: DataForSeoBot` `Disallow: /`
How to verify	No published verification method. Treat the name as a claim, not proof.
Should you block it?	Charge it; it is a commercial product built on your pages.
Does it pay?	No. It does not carry a wallet and cannot answer a 402. A site that charges simply serves it nothing.
