AI Overviews summarize answers at the top of Google results and link to supporting sources. Being one of those sources brings visibility even when fewer people click.

Pages that already rank well, answer a question directly and show clear expertise are the most likely to be cited. Fresh dates, original photos, real examples and named authors help show that your content is trustworthy.

Pin Tip

Search your top service questions and note which sites are cited. Study what those pages do well, then do it more clearly.

Focus on Usefulness

There is no special markup that guarantees an AI Overview citation. Helpful, accurate, well structured content remains the most reliable path.
