What are AI Overviews.

In short

AI-generated answers that Google shows above the regular search results, with links to the pages they draw on. Available in Poland since March 2025.

What they look like

For some queries Google shows a block above the results with an answer written by AI. It summarises information from several pages and links to them. In Poland AI Overviews have been available since March 2025, and AI Mode, a conversational search experience, followed in October 2025.

What it means for websites

For informational questions some users get their answer without clicking, so advice pages can lose clicks even when rankings hold. On the other hand, being a source in AI Overviews brings visibility and a link in the most prominent spot on the page.

How to improve your chances

  • Google says plainly there are no special requirements: the same rules as regular SEO apply.
  • The page must be indexed and eligible to show a snippet.
  • Content that answers the question specifically, with examples and first-hand experience, helps.
  • A structure with clear headings makes it easier to pick the right passage.

How to check

Traffic from AI Overviews is included in regular Search Console data, with no separate report. To know whether a page is cited, you have to check important queries manually or use tools that track it.

Sources

AI Overviews: questions.

Can I keep my site out of AI Overviews?

You can limit snippets with nosnippet or max-snippet, but that also affects regular results. Blocking Google-Extended in robots.txt does not remove a site from AI Overviews.

Do AI Overviews appear for every query?

No. Google shows them mainly for questions where an AI summary is useful. They are usually absent for navigational queries and many shopping searches.
