Clickagy Intelligence Bot v2
Clickagy Intelligence Bot v2 is an intelligence-gathering crawler operated by Clickagy. It collects competitive, marketing, or threat-intel data from public web pages, usually on behalf of a buyer who wants visibility into a market or competitor set.
Volume is moderate but persistent. The crawler is interested in pricing pages, product pages, ad creatives, or whatever else its customers are tracking.
Whether to allow it is a strategy call. Some businesses want to be seen by their competitors; others would rather hide.

Does blocking Clickagy Intelligence Bot v2 affect my Google rankings?
No. Clickagy Intelligence Bot v2 is not a search-engine crawler. Your ranking on Google or Bing is unaffected by what you do here.
How do I confirm a request is really from Clickagy Intelligence Bot v2?
Look at the User-Agent header in your access logs and match it against the strings listed above. Worth knowing that the User-Agent is easy to fake, so this check tells you "the traffic claims to be Clickagy Intelligence Bot v2", not "the traffic is genuinely Clickagy Intelligence Bot v2". If you need stronger guarantees, look for a reverse-DNS check or wait for Clickagy to publish IP ranges.
Why is a third-party tool crawling my site?
Someone, possibly a competitor running a backlink audit, possibly your own team, set up a job in Clickagy. The crawler runs on their schedule. Blocking it only blocks their visibility into your site, it doesn't break anything user-facing.
How is Clickagy Intelligence Bot v2 different from Clickagy's other bots?
Clickagy splits work across multiple user-agents so site owners can decide on each one independently. Training crawlers, live-fetch agents, search indexers, and agentic browsers each get their own name. Worth scanning the rest of the Clickagy family above to see which ones actually matter for your site.
What's the cleanest way to control Clickagy Intelligence Bot v2?
Two layers. Robots.txt for the polite crawlers that read it, and rules at your CDN or edge for the ones that don't. Rankly's Agent Experience handles both from a single config, so you can allow, block, rate-limit, or serve a stripped-down version per bot. Agent Analytics handles the observation half so you know which bots are actually worth a rule.
