Optimize for AI-generated overviews
AI Overviews (formerly known as SGE - Search Generative Experience) are AI-generated summaries that appear in search results. Optimizing for AI Overviews means ensuring your content is structured and written in a way that makes it likely to be included in these AI-generated responses.
AI Overviews typically favor authoritative sources with clear, well-structured content that directly answers user queries. Having proper structured data, clear headings, and comprehensive coverage of topics increases your chances.
AI Overviews complement traditional search by providing quick answers, but users still click through to sources for detailed information. Being cited in an AI Overview can actually increase traffic to your site.
