GEO glossary
Google AI Overviews
Google AI Overviews are AI-generated answer summaries shown above traditional search results for many queries. They cite a small number of sources, making inclusion a key GEO target.
Because they cite only a handful of sources, being included is a direct GEO win, and being omitted while competitors appear is a direct loss.
