How Google AI Overviews chooses
How Google AI Overviews decides which businesses to name
They are built from Google Search
AI Overviews draw on Google's search index. There is no special markup to appear in them: a page has to be indexed and eligible to show in Search, and to answer the question well.
They cite several sources
88% of AI Overviews cite three or more sources (Pew Research, 2025), so there is room for a specialist next to large sites.
Few people click through
Only 1% of users click a link inside the AI summary (Pew Research, 2025). Being named in the summary itself matters more than ranking below it.
They appear on some searches, not all
Whether a search shows an AI Overview varies by query and over time, so we track which of your important searches show one and what it says.

Google AI Overviews visibility questions
How do I get my business into Google's AI Overviews?
Follow Google's normal search guidance: make sure your pages can be crawled and indexed, answer the question clearly with facts, and be present on the sources Google trusts for your topic. Then measure which searches include you.
Is AI Overviews the same as AI Mode?
No. AI Overviews are summaries shown above normal results. AI Mode is a separate conversational tab that runs many searches in the background and lets people ask follow-up questions.
