Google’s AI-Generated Search Summaries Updated
Google is enhancing its AI-generated search summaries by changing how sources are displayed. Now, source websites are shown more prominently on the right side of the AI Overviews, with ongoing experiments to include clickable links directly in the summary text.
This update aims to increase traffic to publisher sites and improve user navigation. Google has also started offering publishers a way out, but in doing so, you concede to the overviews and die pages back in the search results.
