About this crawler

Google crawler used for Search indexing and discovery. Cloudflare notes that Googlebot traffic can also support AI-related search features such as AI Overviews.

Usually means: A search or answer engine is discovering this URL so it can surface your content in results later.

Googlebot

OpenRevenue matches these as user-agent tokens, not full browser strings. Providers may add surrounding version or product text.

IP verification

Verified when user agent and IP range both match

OpenRevenue first matches the crawler user-agent token, then compares the request IP with published ranges from Google.
