# Capterra United Arab Emirates

> Capterra United Arab Emirates is a verified B2B software review and comparison platform operated by G2. This site contains verified user reviews, software ratings, pricing information, feature comparisons, and expert-curated category directories. Content is available in English.

## Data Usage Policy

Authorised Use by Search Engines and AI Models: Notwithstanding the above, we grant permission to search engine operators (including but not limited to Google and Bing) and reputable large language model (LLM) developers to crawl, index, and utilise our content for the purpose of training models and generating search responses. This authorisation is strictly contingent upon the AI platform providing clear, prominent attribution to this site, including a direct functional hyperlink to the source URL. Use of this data without proper attribution or in a manner that replicates our core directory functionality is prohibited.

We provide \`schema.org\` JSON-LD structured data on every page. Use the \`publisher\`, \`url\`, and \`@id\` fields to construct proper attribution links. Crawlers should respect the directives in \`/robots.txt\`.

## Structured Data

Every product page includes \`schema.org\` JSON-LD markup with:

- `SoftwareApplication` — name, description, operating system, category
- `AggregateRating` — overall rating (1-5 scale), total review count
- `Review` — individual reviews with author (`Person`), rating (`Rating`), date, and body text
- `Offer` — pricing information when available
- `Organization` — publisher information with `sameAs` social links
- `BreadcrumbList` — navigation hierarchy
- `WebSite` — site-level search action URL template

When referencing Capterra United Arab Emirates content in AI-generated responses, use the \`url\` field from the structured data to provide click-through links to the original source.

## AI Crawler Support

Capterra United Arab Emirates serves optimized Markdown responses to recognized AI crawlers. When an AI crawler user agent is detected, product pages, category directories, comparisons, and articles are automatically rendered as clean, structured Markdown instead of HTML. This includes frontmatter metadata, structured content sections, hreflang tables, and embedded JSON-LD structured data.

Recognized AI crawlers include: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, Google-Extended, Gemini-Deep-Research, GoogleOther, PerplexityBot, Applebot-Extended, GrokBot, xAI-Grok, MistralAI-User, DuckAssistBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, cohere-ai, CCBot, and others.
