AI Overview citation
Being cited as a source in Google's AI Overviews or other generative search experiences.
AI Overview citations have become a meaningful traffic source. Pages cited as sources in answers earn referral clicks and brand exposure.
Citation likelihood is influenced by topical authority, content depth, structured data, and clear answer formatting.
Pages that include explicit definitions, FAQs, and structured 'how-to' content are over-represented in citations.
Why it matters
Optimizing for AI citations is becoming as important as classic SEO. Pages structured for citation also rank better organically.
