AI Overview
Google's AI-generated answer that appears above traditional search results.
AI Overviews (and the related AI Mode) are Google's generative answers shown at the top of many searches. They summarize information and cite a handful of sources, often reducing clicks to the underlying pages.
Being referenced in AI Overviews depends on strong topical authority, clear structure and content that directly answers the query — the same signals AEO emphasizes.
