AI Overviews
Google's AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of search results, powered by their Gemini AI model.
Understanding AI Overviews
Formerly known as SGE (Search Generative Experience), AI Overviews provide AI-written answers to search queries, often replacing traditional featured snippets. Being cited in AI Overviews requires clear, authoritative content with strong E-E-A-T signals. These overviews can significantly impact traditional search traffic by answering queries directly without requiring clicks.
