The focus is the queries where Google shows an AI Overview, why competitors are cited and what your pages need to be chosen. Google AI Overviews are the AI-written summaries shown above many Google results, and AI Mode is Google's conversational search experience. Both cite web pages as sources. This service makes your pages more likely to be those sources.
AI Overviews appear on a large share of informational and many commercial queries. When they do, the cited sources get attention and the rest of the page gets fewer clicks. Google's earlier experiment was called Search Generative Experience (SGE); AI Overviews and AI Mode are what replaced it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I opt out of AI Overviews?
You can limit snippets with nosnippet or max-snippet, but that also limits normal snippets and usually costs more than it saves. Most businesses are better off aiming to be cited.
Is there a special markup for AI Overviews?
No. Google says the same SEO fundamentals apply: indexable, helpful, trustworthy pages. Structured data helps understanding but does not buy a citation.
Does AI Mode use the same sources?
It draws on the same index but runs several related searches behind one question. Pages that cover a topic thoroughly, including follow-up questions, have more chances to be cited.
What happened to SGE?
SGE was the experimental name. Google launched AI Overviews publicly in 2024 and later added AI Mode, so SGE optimization today means optimizing for those features.
Why are my clicks down but rankings the same?
If an AI Overview answers the question above your result, fewer people scroll and click. Being one of the cited sources and targeting deeper, high-intent queries recovers much of that value.
