Appear in Google's AI Overviews
Google now answers many searches with an AI-generated summary before the links. It is the new first position. We make your industrial company one of the sources Google cites and summarises in those answers.
Do you appear in AI Overviews?
We check it and tell you how to get there. No commitment.
AI Overviews are the AI-generated summaries Google shows at the top of many results, citing several sources. Appearing in them is the new first position. To get there we structure your content with data, FAQs and semantics that Google can synthesise and cite, within our AEO & GEO strategy.
Google now answers before the links
More and more searches show an AI summary at the top that answers directly, citing a handful of sources. Many users no longer scroll down to the usual ten links.
If your company is not among those cited sources, you lose visibility in exactly the most valuable place on the results page.
Being there is the new battle in search positioning, and in industry it is almost uncontested.
What AI Overviews are and why they matter
They are Google's bet on AI search. They change the rules in three ways:

Who it is for
For industrial companies whose relevant searches already show AI Overviews and who want to be among the cited sources before their competitors are.
It fits within a broader AEO & GEO strategy; it is rarely worked on in isolation, but as part of making your company citable by every AI.
Mistakes that keep you out of the summary
Content that does not answer. If your page does not give a clear, direct answer to the question, Google has nothing of yours to cite.
Data in images or PDFs. Anything not in structured text is invisible to the AI summary.
A lack of authority. Google prioritises reliable sources; with no signals of experience, you are left out.
What results you can expect
Appearing in AI Overviews gives you early visibility in the most-seen position on the results page, which in industry is barely contested today. Over time, being cited as a source again and again strengthens your authority and feeds brand searches.
We measure it by tracking which relevant queries Google cites you in and how your brand searches and your traffic from AI search develop.

We answer your questions
Frequently asked questions
What exactly are AI Overviews?
They are the AI summaries Google shows at the top of many searches, answering directly and citing sources.
They work like a “position zero” with artificial intelligence: they sit above the traditional ten links.
Is there any point appearing if the user does not click?
Yes. Being cited gives you visibility and authority even without a direct click, and it generates brand searches afterwards.
Google choosing you as a source positions you as a reference in the user's eyes.
How do you get to appear in an AI Overview?
With answer-first content, structured data, clear FAQs and signals of authority that Google can synthesise.
There is no magic button: it is sustained AEO/GEO work on a good SEO foundation.
Is this the same thing as GEO?
It is one part of it. GEO covers every generative AI; AI Overviews are Google's version.
That is why we work on them together: they share the same technical and content foundation.
Do AI Overviews appear in my sector?
In more and more searches, technical and B2B ones included. In the audit we check which of your queries already show them.
What is a minority today will grow; getting there first is the advantage.
Do I need good SEO first?
It helps a great deal: the technical and content foundation carries straight over.
If we are starting from scratch, we build the SEO and the AI Overviews work at the same time.
Can I measure whether I appear?
Yes, we track which relevant queries Google cites you in and how your presence develops.
We combine it with brand searches and traffic to see the real impact.
And if Google changes how they work?
It is ground that keeps moving, which is why we treat it as an ongoing process, not a closed project.
The foundation — clear, structured content with authority — is what works whatever happens.
Is it any use for winning clients, or just for visibility?
Both: it builds authority and, through brand searches and qualified traffic, opportunities.
A buyer who sees you cited by Google arrives with more confidence.
How does it fit with the rest of my marketing?
It is one piece of the AEO & GEO strategy, which in turn rests on your SEO, your content and your brand authority.
We coordinate it all so it pulls in the same direction.
Does appearing in AI Overviews take traffic away from me?
It may cost you the odd click, but you gain in visibility and authority: people see you as the source Google chooses to summarise.
And many informational queries that used not to convert now generate brand searches from people who discover you in the summary.
What content gets cited most in AI Overviews?
The kind that answers clearly and directly: definitions, FAQs, data, comparison tables and well-structured guides.
Less sales filler and more useful, validated information: that is what Google can synthesise with confidence.
Can I choose which searches to appear in?
You cannot “buy” the presence, but we do prioritise the most valuable queries in your sector and work the content to win them.
In the audit we identify where your real chances are best.
How is it different from a featured snippet?
The snippet highlighted a fragment of one page; the AI Overview synthesises several sources with AI and cites them.
It changes the approach: an optimised page is no longer enough, you have to be a citable source.
Does it affect my normal organic position?
The work for AI Overviews strengthens your SEO: they share the same technical and content foundation.
We do it in a coordinated way so it improves your visibility in both at once.
How much does working on it cost?
It is included in the AEO & GEO strategy; we define the scope after the audit, according to your sector and your starting point.
We frame it as an investment in future visibility, today barely contested in industry.
