AI overview

A synthesized summary shown above or within traditional search results.

Definition

AI overviews are another answer surface. Classic SEO still matters, but crawlable, well-structured pages improve chances of being used as support.

In practice

  • Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
  • Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
  • Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
