Google AI Overviews

Definition

Google AI Overviews are AI-generated responses that Google displays directly in the search results for certain search queries. Instead of just seeing a list of websites, you get a summary with information from various sources. Google may also display links to relevant websites. For businesses, this means their content can appear as a source in an AI response, even if users don’t click directly on the website. Google itself decides whether and when to display such a response.
