AI Overviews
AI Overviews are Google's AI-generated answer summaries that appear at the top of the search results page, synthesizing information from multiple web pages and linking to them as sources. Launched in the US in May 2024 and now powered by Gemini, they appear on a growing share of queries and typically reduce click-through to traditional results. As of 2026, Google places inline source links next to the specific text they support and lets users nominate Preferred Sources to influence which publishers are surfaced.
