Google AI Overviews

Google AI Overviews is Google's generative answer module above blue-link results — the highest-traffic AI surface.

AIOGoogle AIOSGE

Google AI Overviews (AIO) is the generative answer module that Google increasingly displays above traditional search results. Because Google still owns the majority of search query volume, AIO is the single highest-impact AI surface to optimise for. Inclusion requires top-10 organic ranking, schema markup (especially `Article` + `FAQPage`), and answer-first content layout. AIO citation data is not exposed in Search Console — third-party AI-search visibility tools are required to track it.
