Overview mapping
Which of your target queries trigger AI Overviews, who is cited today, and where you're already in range.
Google AI Overviews Optimisation
AI Overviews now appear above the classic results for a large share of informational and commercial queries, and the links inside them take a growing portion of clicks. Being cited there is the new position one. We optimise for inclusion with the same discipline we bring to classic SEO.
Google AI Overviews are generated summaries that appear at the top of search results for many queries, with links to the sources used. They're built on Gemini models, but the sources are selected using Google's existing ranking systems — which means you can't appear in an Overview for a query you don't already rank reasonably well for, and you won't be chosen as a source unless your page answers the question clearly.
Our AI Overviews optimisation works on both conditions. We identify the queries where Overviews appear in your category and where you have a realistic chance of inclusion, make sure you rank in the consideration set, and then restructure those pages so they're the obvious source: a direct answer near the top, clear headings that match the question, specific facts, supporting detail in scannable structure, and schema that confirms what the page is.
We also track what's happening to your click-through as Overviews roll out across more queries, so you can see where they're taking traffic, where they're sending it, and where inclusion is turning an impression into a visit.
Much of this work is Answer Engine Optimisation applied to Google specifically: structuring content so it can be lifted as the answer. If you've already done featured-snippet work, you have a head start.

FAQs
It's rare. Sources are drawn from pages Google already ranks well for the query or closely related queries. Ranking is the first condition.
For some queries, yes; for others, being cited increases clicks. We analyse this per query in Search Console so you can see where it helps and where it hurts.
Overviews synthesise several sources rather than lifting one passage, and they appear for more query types. The structural work is similar; the measurement is different.
We run a monthly tracked set of queries and log Overview presence, cited sources and your position, alongside Search Console data.
