Google AI Overviews and AI Mode SEO

AI Overviews now sit above the blue links for many searches, and AI Mode goes further. Google picks its citations from pages it already trusts. I help yours become the ones it quotes, and protect your clicks when the answer appears on Google itself.

What's included

Every engagement is tailored to your site, but this is what it usually covers.

  • AI Overview audit

    Which of your keywords trigger AI Overviews, who gets cited, and where you're missing.

  • Rankings first

    AI Overviews mostly cite pages that already rank well, so core SEO stays the foundation.

  • Answer-first structure

    Direct answers, short definitions, steps and tables placed where Google can extract them.

  • Topical depth

    Supporting pages that cover the follow-up questions AI Mode asks on the user's behalf.

  • Structured data

    Schema that matches your visible content and helps Google understand products, reviews and organisations.

  • Click-through protection

    Titles and content that give people a reason to click after reading the AI answer.

Who it's for

  • Publishers and blogs losing traffic to AI Overviews
  • E-commerce stores in competitive categories
  • Local businesses in AI-heavy searches
  • SaaS companies with 'best' and 'vs' keywords

Industries I specialise in

How we'd work together

No 40-page decks. A clear plan, real work, and reports in plain language.

  1. Audit

    I crawl your site, read your Search Console and check competitors to find what's costing you rankings.

  2. Plan

    You get a prioritised roadmap: quick wins first, then the bigger content and authority work.

  3. Execute

    I do the work hands-on, or alongside your writers, developers and marketing team.

  4. Report

    Monthly reports on rankings, traffic, leads and revenue, plus what's next.

Questions people ask

Can I opt out of AI Overviews?

Only by limiting snippets with nosnippet or max-snippet, which also limits your normal search listing. For most sites, being cited is the better aim.

Does Google-Extended affect AI Overviews?

No. Google-Extended controls whether your content is used for Gemini training. AI Overviews use Google Search's normal crawling and index.
