Does Google-Extended control AI Overviews?

No. Google-Extended only controls use for Gemini training and grounding outside Search. AI Overviews and AI Mode are controlled by the snippet directives this tool checks.

How do I hide one part of a page?

Wrap it in an element with data-nosnippet, like . Google honours it on span, div and section elements.

Should I set max-snippet?

Only for a real reason, like licensing. max-snippet:-1 means no limit and is the safe default.

Yes. Every tool is free with no signup.

Do you store what I enter?

Browser tools never leave your device. Live tools fetch the URL you enter and don’t save the result.

How is this different from the site audit?

Why it matters

Google’s only AI requirement

Google says a page needs to be indexed and “eligible to be shown in Google Search with a snippet” to appear in AI Overviews and AI Mode. Nothing else is required.

One tag removes you

nosnippet or max-snippet:0 stops Google quoting the page anywhere, AI features included. It is often left over from a legal or paywall decision.

Bing has its own switches

NOCACHE limits Copilot to your URL, title and snippet. NOARCHIVE keeps the page out of Copilot answers entirely.

What it checks

Meta robots

X-Robots-Tag

The HTTP header, including bot-scoped values like “googlebot: nosnippet”.

max-snippet

The character limit Google applies to snippets and AI features. The most restrictive value wins.

data-nosnippet

How many words sit inside data-nosnippet sections, as a share of the page.

Bing Copilot

nocache and noarchive, which Bing uses to limit or remove pages from Copilot answers.

Image previews and expiry

max-image-preview and unavailable_after, which quietly limit or drop a page.
