Hello Nichola,

you see the log entry because you enabled the Admin Whitelist feature, so every visitor that is trying to access your site backend and is not in the list gets blocked.
However, you can add a list of "safe domains" so crawlers won't get blocked.

In the WAF configuration page, in the section Exceptions from blocking please add .google.com in the Whitelisted domains option.
For further info you can take a look at this page of the manual.
