Google Site Verifier is a Google service that confirms ownership of websites for tools like Google Search Console, Google Workspace, and other property-based products. It performs targeted requests to verify the presence of verification tokens, such as HTML files, meta tags, or DNS records. These checks are one-time or periodic, triggered when a user initiates verification or when Google revalidates ownership. The bot does not crawl or index content and has no impact on Search rankings. It's activity is minimal, focused solely on confirming site ownership credentials. It ignores the global user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies Google Site Verifier / Google-Site-Verification using Google’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine Google Site Verifier / Google-Site-Verification traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
