# AI Overviews

Google's AI-generated answer block that appears above traditional search results.

A Google SERP feature that synthesizes an answer from multiple sources, with citations. Appearance reduces click-through rate to traditional results below it. Inclusion depends on entity clarity, structured data, and content that is structurally extractable as an answer.
