Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode now answer many questions right on the results page, with links to the websites behind each answer. Naturally, many business owners wonder how to become one of those links. The answer is reassuringly familiar.
No secret AI formula
According to Google’s guide to AI features and your website, there are no extra requirements or special optimizations. A page simply needs to be indexed and eligible to show with a snippet in regular Search. You don’t need new AI text files or special schema markup either.
Best practices that help
- Let Google crawl your site in robots.txt and through your host or CDN.
- Link pages together so important content is easy to find.
- Put key information in text, backed by quality images and video.
- Keep structured data matching what visitors actually see on the page.
- Update your Business Profile and verify your site in Search Console.
Traffic from these features appears in your Search Console Performance report alongside normal web results. Strong content still matters most, as we explain in our guide to helpful content.
