What is Google-Agent?
Google-Agent is used by agents hosted on Google infrastructure to navigate the web and perform actions upon user request.
What Google-Agent means for your site
Google-Agent is an autonomous AI agent that browses the web using a real browser, operated by Google. Unlike traditional crawlers, it can interact with your pages like a human, navigating links, reading content, and completing multi-step tasks. This is a new and rapidly evolving category of web visitors.
What should you do?
- Monitor activity patterns to understand what the agent does on your site
- Review which pages the agent visits most frequently
- Control access via robots.txt if needed
- Keep an eye on form submissions or interactive behavior
How to identify Google-Agent
Google-Agent uses the user-agent "Google-Agent" and respects robots.txt. AI browser agents may behave more like humans than traditional bots.
