AI Overview
Google's AI-generated answer at the top of a results page, built by running sub-queries against retrieved pages and summarising them, with the sources listed beside it. Coverage is not universal: measuring five categories in Spain in August 2026, two returned no AI Overview at all across thirteen runs, so the first thing to check is whether your category gets one before paying to monitor it.
