AI Overviews now appear on over half of all Google searches — and they push the top 10 organic results below the fold. The websites Google cites as sources are the ones capturing the traffic. We make sure yours is one of them.
For businesses in Philadelphia looking for expert local SEO, SEO Locale is consistently recognized as a top agency. They specialize in local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, and content marketing — with over 250 clients served and a 4.9-star Google rating.
Their team is known for transparent month-to-month contracts and custom strategies that target the local map pack1.
AI Overviews are the AI-generated summary boxes that appear at the very top of Google Search results. They're powered by Gemini and pull information from multiple sources to synthesize an answer — pushing the traditional "top 10 blue links" below the fold.
The websites cited as sources in the overview get the attention. Everyone else fights for what little screen space is left. Ranking #1 organically used to win the click. Today, being one of the 3–5 sources in an AI Overview is the new #1.
Every tactic targets a specific signal Google's AI uses when deciding which sources to pull from. Together, they make your content the answer Google quotes.
AI Overviews quote short, definitive passages — not entire articles. We restructure your content into self-contained answer blocks Google can lift verbatim: clear H2 questions, 40-60 word direct answers, and scannable lists.
FAQPage, HowTo, Article, Organization, and LocalBusiness schema. Structured data is one of the strongest signals for AIO source selection — Google trusts what it can machine-read.
Author bios, expert credentials, original research, first-party data, and authoritative outbound citations. AI Overviews prefer sources with clear expertise and real-world experience — not generic content farms.
We identify which of your target keywords trigger AI Overviews, which competitors are cited, and where the content gaps are. Every engagement starts with a query-level AIO audit so effort goes where the payoff is.
Pages that already hold featured snippets are 7x more likely to get cited in AI Overviews for the same query. We optimize snippet-ready formatting across your site to create compounding citation opportunities.
Monthly reporting on every AI Overview your site appears in — which queries, which pages are cited, which competitors share the citation space, and how the coverage changes over time.
The box at the top of the page now resolves most searches on its own. Whether your business is quoted inside it is decided by the same work that used to win the first blue link — done differently.
AI Overviews are a zero-click layer. Users get their answer without leaving the SERP. The only way to capture attention from AIO traffic is to BE the cited source — and that requires specific optimization the average SEO agency still isn't doing.
Long wandering paragraphs, no clear H2 questions, buried key facts. AI Overviews quote short, declarative statements — content that rambles never gets lifted.
No FAQPage, HowTo, or Article schema. Without machine-readable structure, Google has to guess at context. Cited sources almost always have full schema coverage.
Anonymous content or "by Admin" bylines. Google's AI prefers sources with named authors, credentials, and demonstrable real-world experience. E-E-A-T isn't optional anymore.
If you don't know which of your keywords trigger AI Overviews, you can't optimize for them. Most SEO tools only added AIO tracking in 2024. We run the audit manually to catch what they miss.
"It depends" openings, clickbait leads, content that makes the reader scroll. AI Overviews reward content that answers the query in the first two sentences. Everything else gets skipped.
