Page sets max-snippet:0 or max-image-preview:none
max-snippet and max-image-preview are directives, set either through a robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, that control how much of your page's text and images Google is allowed to show directly in search results. This check found your page sets max-snippet:0 or max-image-preview:none, both of which sharply restrict what Google can display. This caps how much Google can show in normal search results, and AI Overviews reuse the exact same snippet pipeline, so the same restriction silently suppresses your eligibility for AI-generated answer boxes too. It's often set unintentionally by a security-hardening plugin or a generic 'block AI' tool rather than a deliberate content decision. Your developer needs about 15-20 minutes. Check where the directive is set, either the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header, and change it to max-snippet:-1 to allow Google and AI Overviews to display your content fully, unless restricting snippets was a deliberate choice.
Why this matters

How to fix it
