Should your store allow Google-Extended?

THE VERDICT

Your call — blocking is legitimate.

This bot crawls to train an AI model, not to send you a shopper today. Blocking it is a reasonable content-rights choice and does NOT stop AI assistants from reaching or recommending your store live. Weigh brand exposure in future models against principle.
