Short answer
To limit what Google shows from your pages in AI features, use the same preview controls as Search: nosnippet, data-nosnippet, max-snippet or noindex. Restricting snippets also reduces your chance of being quoted, so use them only for content you truly need to protect.
Options
| Control | Effect |
|---|---|
| nosnippet | No text snippet |
| data-nosnippet | Excludes a section |
| max-snippet:[n] | Limits snippet length |
| noindex | Removes the page from Search |
