Getting found
AI Overview
The AI-written summary Google shows at the top of many search results, above the usual links. It pulls from a few websites and cites them.
Why it matters for your business
When an AI Overview appears, many people read it and never scroll. If your site is one of the sources, you get the credit and the click. If it is not, a competitor does. Clear, factual pages are what get cited.
In practice
Someone searches "how often should a house be repainted in Florida". The overview cites a painting company's blog post that answers in the first sentence, and the company's name appears right at the top.
