GEO & AI Search Glossary
Google AI Overviews
Google AI Overviews are AI-generated summary answers that appear above traditional results on Google, synthesized from multiple sources with citation links.
AI Overviews compress the top of the results page: many informational queries are answered in place, which reduces clicks to ranked pages (zero-click search) while concentrating value in being cited inside the Overview itself.
Earning citations requires crawlable, answer-first content, strong structured data, and corroboration across trusted third-party sources — Overviews draw on Google's index, so SEO health remains the entry ticket.
