AI Overviews
AI Overviews are Google's AI-generated answers that appear above traditional search results, synthesizing information from multiple sources and citing them. Being cited in an AI Overview is a core goal of AEO.
Like other answer engines, they reward content that is readable, well-structured and trustworthy enough to quote.
How do I appear in Google's AI Overviews?
Make your content crawlable and in raw HTML, structure it with clear answers and schema, and build trust signals. AI Overviews cite sources they can read and rely on.
