Google AI Overviews optimisation:
be cited above the rankings.

Google now answers many searches itself. Its AI Overview sits above every ranking you have earned. Our Google AI Overviews optimisation makes your pages easy to quote and worth citing there. We check your results on set dates, because the Overview keeps changing.

What you get
every month.

01

Where Overviews show up for your searches

We check the searches your buyers use, one by one. Which ones show an AI Overview today? Who does it cite, and where do you stand? We date each check, because a search can gain or lose its Overview between checks. Your plan starts from what Google does on your searches, not from industry averages.

Quarterly
02

Making sure Google can use your pages

Google can only cite pages it can read, store and quote. So we check and fix these first: robots rules, canonical tags (which URL to index) and indexing. Then the snippet settings: nosnippet, max-snippet and data-nosnippet. We also fix the most common mistake we find. Blocking Google-Extended does not keep a site out of AI Overviews. Teams who think it does often block the wrong thing.

Monthly
03

One page per search, with an answer Google can quote

Each target search gets one main page. Its opening passage answers the search in a few lines that make sense on their own. That is the form Overviews quote. The detail sits below for people who click through. Near-copies that compete to be the source get merged. Pages that compete with each other lose citations, just as they lose rankings.

Per page
04

The normal rankings underneath

AI Overviews mostly cite pages Google already ranks and trusts. So this work always stays tied to classic SEO. We keep your structured data valid and your business details the same everywhere. We work on your rankings for target searches and track them next to your citations. If you already have an SEO team, we work beside it and don't repeat its work.

Ongoing
05

Reports that separate what we can and can't measure

We report your citations on tracked searches over time. We show how the rankings Overviews draw from have moved, and the visits AI tools send you. Next to that sits a list of what can't be measured. Search Console mixes Overview views into its overall totals, and no AI tool shares its citation logs. So you always know which claims rest on data.

Monthly
How it starts

From the first check to being cited,
step by step.

01
Start

Brief and a call

We sign an NDA. Then we talk through the searches that bring in sales in your market, and who is cited on them today.

02
Once the brief is complete

Audit and itemised proposal

We confirm when your proposal arrives. You get a free first check of your Overviews and whether Google can use your pages. You also get a priced plan, with the most valuable work first.

03
Your decision

You sign off

You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.

04
Typically 2 to 3 business days later

The work starts

We fix snippet and indexing problems and check your schema. Then we rework the first main pages with opening passages Google can quote.

05
Every month after

Dated checks and a monthly report

We publish, check, record and report. Reports show the trend across dated checks. We never pass off one screenshot as how things always are.

Inside Prism

Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.

Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.

Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, your search programme runs in a workspace you log into: the fix queue, the content queue, approvals and the weekly review, with each decision written down as it is made.

  • 01

    Fix and content queues

    Approvals with an owner and a due date.

  • 02

    Weekly review

    Each decision written down as it is made.

Direct engagement

B2B SaaS: from invisible to answer-engine cited.

The result this page is for. A B2B SaaS platform's buying searches showed AI Overviews that cited rivals, or nobody. We fixed what blocked Google, gave each target question one main page and opened each page with a quotable answer. Five months on, the traffic figure on the card was in. Google AI Overviews were citing the product on the searches that bring in sales.

How we run it

How we check Google can use your pages,
step by step.

Before we rewrite anything, we confirm Google can read, store and quote the page. Most problems at this stage are settings, not content. Fixing them first gives us a dated starting point. Every later claim of progress is judged against it.

  1. 01Snapshot the queriesWe check your buying searches one by one. Which show an AI Overview today, and who does it cite? Each check is dated, because a search can gain or lose its Overview between checks.
  2. 02Confirm Google can read and store the pageWe check robots rules, canonical tags and indexing first. Google can only cite pages it can read and store.
  3. 03Read the snippet settingsThree settings decide whether you appear in Overviews: nosnippet, max-snippet and data-nosnippet. They cut both ways. Limiting snippets also shrinks your normal listings, so you choose on purpose whether to take part.
  4. 04Fix the Google-Extended mistakeBlocking Google-Extended does not keep a site out of AI Overviews. It controls how Gemini learns from and uses your pages. Teams who think otherwise often block the wrong thing.
  5. 05Check the rankings underneathWe check your structured data and track your rankings for target searches. Overviews mostly cite pages Google already ranks and trusts.
  6. 06Choose one main page per searchEach target search gets one main page. Near-copies that compete to be the source are merged before we rewrite any opening passage.

Search Console mixes Overview views into its normal totals. So every report keeps what we can measure and what we can't in separate columns.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

AI Overviews are the AI summaries Google shows at the top of its results, with a short list of sources. This service works on that one place, through Google's index, snippet settings and rankings. AEO covers every AI answer tool, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot. GEO works on the other websites those AI tools read.

No. Google decides, search by search, whether an Overview shows and which sources it cites. That changes between users, places and weeks. Our contract covers the work that makes a citation possible. We check Google can use your pages and give each target question one main page. We publish quotable passages and work on rankings. We report monthly against a dated starting point.

Not perfectly, and we say so upfront. On set dates we check whether an Overview shows on your tracked searches and whether you're cited. We also track the rankings Overviews draw from. Search Console mixes Overview views into its normal totals, and Google shares no citation logs. So every report keeps what we can measure apart from what we can't.

You need the work. The only question is who does it. Overviews mostly cite pages Google already ranks and can quote, and our own SEO retainers include this work. A separate project makes sense when someone else runs your SEO and nobody covers Overviews. If your current SEO already covers it, we'll tell you.

No, and it's the most common mistake we find. Google-Extended controls how Gemini learns from and uses your pages. AI Overviews are part of Search and use the normal index. The usual snippet settings (nosnippet, max-snippet, data-nosnippet) decide whether you appear. Limiting them also shrinks your normal listings. So we check them, and you choose on purpose whether to take part.

Yes, and clients ask their agencies about "the AI box on Google" by name. The work goes out under your brand, backed by an NDA. You keep your templates and client calls, and we do the work. We don't approach the clients you introduce for direct business, during the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends, as written into the agreement.

There is an order of work, not a trick. First, make sure Google can read, store and quote the page. Then give each target search one main page, opening with an answer that makes sense on its own. Keep your normal rankings strong, because Overviews mostly cite pages Google already ranks and trusts.
