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.

You get a prioritised roadmap: quick wins first, then the bigger content and authority work.
Execute
I do the work hands-on, or alongside your writers, developers and marketing team.

Monthly reports on rankings, traffic, leads and revenue, plus what's next.
Guides on this topic
Free, practical articles from my client work.
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.
