AI Overview
Optimisation.

Google's AI Overviews are reshaping search results. I'll help your business appear in those AI-generated summaries at the top of the page.

Get started with AIO

The short version

AIO — AI Overview optimisation — is optimising your content to be featured in Google’s AI Overviews, the AI-generated summaries that now sit at the very top of many search results.

They’re everywhere now: AI Overviews appear on around 31% of searches, and the top organic result’s click-through rate fell 32% year-on-year as they expanded. Source: GrowthSRC, 2025.

The Basics

What is AIO?

AIO — AI Overview Optimisation — is about getting your business into Google's AI Overviews: the AI-generated summaries that now sit at the top of many search results, above the traditional blue links.

It means structuring your content so Google's AI can confidently pull from it, backed by the clarity and authority signals those summaries favour.

The Problem

Page one isn't what it used to be.

Google's AI Overviews now sit above the traditional search results for a growing number of queries. That AI-generated summary at the top of the page is often the only thing people read before making a decision.

If you're not appearing in that summary, even strong page-one rankings might not be driving the traffic they used to. The click-through rates on traditional results drop significantly when an AI Overview is present — people get their answer without scrolling.

The good news: there are specific things you can do to increase your chances of being included. That's what AIO is about.

How I Approach AIO

Getting into Google's AI answers.

AI Overviews favour specific types of content and signals. Here's how I make sure your business ticks those boxes.

Content restructuring

Google's AI pulls from content that's clearly structured and easy to extract. I rework your pages so the key information is formatted in ways the AI can grab — clear headings, concise answers, well-organised lists and tables.

E-E-A-T signals

AI Overviews lean heavily on sources that demonstrate experience, expertise, authority, and trust. I strengthen these signals across your site — from author credentials and case studies to reviews and industry citations.

Featured snippet strategy

There's significant overlap between featured snippets and AI Overview sources. I target the content formats Google's AI prefers — paragraph answers, numbered steps, comparison tables — giving you the best chance of inclusion.

What You Get

Clear deliverables, no guesswork.

AI Overview visibility audit

A detailed analysis of which queries in your space trigger AI Overviews, where your competitors are appearing, and where your best opportunities lie.

Content restructuring for AI extraction

Your existing pages reworked with the formatting, structure, and clarity that Google's AI favours when building its summaries.

Schema & structured data

Comprehensive schema markup implemented across your site, helping Google's AI understand your content, your business, and your expertise.

Performance tracking

Regular monitoring of your AI Overview appearances, with clear reporting on which queries are driving visibility and where to focus next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Fair enough.

AI Overviews are the AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of Google search results for certain queries. Instead of just showing a list of links, Google uses AI to read multiple sources and present a synthesised answer directly on the results page. They're becoming more common across all types of searches.
Regular SEO focuses on ranking your pages in Google's traditional list of results. AIO specifically targets the AI-generated summary that appears above those results. While good SEO is a foundation for AIO, the two require different tactics — AI Overviews favour content that's structured for extraction, backed by strong E-E-A-T signals, and formatted in ways that Google's AI can easily summarise.
Not entirely, but they're changing how people interact with search results. For many queries, the AI Overview answers the question well enough that fewer people click through to individual websites. Traditional results still matter, but having visibility in the AI Overview is becoming increasingly important for maintaining your search traffic.
It varies, but most businesses start seeing improvements within two to three months. Some quick wins — like restructuring existing high-performing content — can show results sooner. Longer-term gains from building E-E-A-T signals and expanding your content take more time. I'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation during our initial conversation.
