AI Overviews are Google's AI-generated summaries that appear above the classic organic results, composing an answer from multiple cited sources.
Why they change the game
They appear on a large, and growing, share of searches, absorb most of the attention, and reduce clicks to ranked pages. Being cited inside the Overview is now worth more than ranking #1 below it.
How to get cited
AI Overviews lean on the same source types as chat assistants: forum threads (Reddit heavily), authoritative how-to pages, and structured comparison content. Answer-first formatting and presence in cited threads are the two biggest levers.
