Google AI Overviews Optimisation

AI Overviews optimisation improves the chance that Google cites your pages in AI Overviews and AI Mode. It combines strong traditional SEO with content that answers the query directly and clearly, so Google can use and link to it in its generated summary.

AI Overviews now sit above the organic results for many searches. When one appears, being one of the cited sources matters as much as your ranking position — and the pages Google cites are not always the ones ranking first.

We analyse which of your target queries trigger AI Overviews, which sources Google currently cites, and what those pages do that yours do not. Then we close the gap.

FAQs

AI Overviews Optimisation FAQs

How does Google choose sources for AI Overviews?

Google has not published a full formula, but cited pages are generally indexed, relevant, helpful and trustworthy, and they contain a clear passage that supports part of the summary. Strong traditional SEO is the foundation.

Can I opt out of AI Overviews?

You can limit how much of a page Google shows using snippet controls such as nosnippet, but this also affects normal search snippets. For most businesses, being cited is more valuable than opting out.

Do AI Overviews reduce website traffic?

They can reduce clicks on some informational queries, because the question is answered on the results page. Being a cited source and targeting queries with commercial intent helps protect traffic that converts.
