AI Overviews is Google’s generative search feature that uses large language models to produce synthesized, conversational summaries at the top of search results. Replacing or supplementing traditional snippets, AI Overviews aim to answer user queries directly—drawing from multiple web sources to generate a cohesive, context-rich explanation. Unlike standard search listings, these summaries reflect Google’s interpretation of trusted, corroborated information rather than direct page excerpts. For brands, visibility in AI Overviews depends on structured data quality, factual precision, and entity authority—factors that increase the likelihood of being cited or linked within the generated response.
