AI Overview
AI Overview - generated answer at the top of the search results. Takes clicks from regular links; SEO's job is to get to its sources.
AI Overview is a block with a ready-made answer that the search engine generates directly in the search results (Google has AI Overviews, Yandex has its own generative answers). The user often receives a response without clicking on any link.
For marketing, this is a rule shift. Some of the traffic that previously went to the site is now “eaten up” by the response. But a new goal has appeared: to get into the sources that the AI refers to. Being cited by AI is the new first position.
What increases the chances: a clear structure (question - short answer - details), FAQ blocks, markup, specific numbers and definitions. AI doesn’t quote vague, “watery” content—it needs a clear fact.
