Google StoreBot is Google’s crawler responsible for fetching and validating data related to product listings, merchant feeds, and eCommerce pages used across Google Shopping surfaces. It helps Google evaluate product availability, pricing, structured data, and landing page quality. StoreBot works alongside Merchant Center systems to ensure product information is accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with Google’s listing requirements. Crawl behavior is focused, lightweight, and typically triggered by updates to product feeds or changes detected on merchant landing pages. RobotSense.io verifies Google StoreBot using Google’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine Google StoreBot traffic is identified.

This bot officially honors Crawl-Delay rule.
