We index the internet in much the same way that most search engines do to provide their services, simply by visiting many millions of websites. We then use intelligent tools to ensure that we can quickly categorise and validate the data retrieved from various sources. So the data in our search engine comes from companies' websites. It may happen that your company's information on CompanySpotter is incorrect. There are several things you can do to prevent this. Let's take a look at some tips and tricks. 

1. Check the company information on CompanySpotter: Access the exclusive link provided in the data processing notification to view the stored information on CompanySpotter. If desired, you also have the option to remove the company information.
2. Check and update the information on your website: Make sure the information on your own website is up-to-date and accurate. Check your company name, address, contact details and other relevant details. The websites are indexed several times and the data on CompanySpotter is updated, if necessary.
3.  Use a robot-txt file: The "robots.txt" file is an essential element you can place on your website to help search engines understand which parts of your site they may visit and index, and which parts they should avoid. By using the robots.txt file, you get control over how search engines interact with your site. The file normally resides in the root directory of your site. In other words, if your site is www.test.com, your robots.txt file would be found at www.test.com/robots.txt. The important thing to remember is that although most search engines (including CompanySpotter) operate carefully and respect the rules of the robots.txt file, it is not an absolute guarantee. Not all search engines respect the rules, and malicious bots can willfully ignore the instructions. For more information take a look at: https://www.companyspotter.com/about-robots
