Google’s AI in Hot Water: Could Your Name Disappear Without Warning?
How AI Overviews change visibility
AI Overviews sit at the top of search results and summarize answers from multiple sources in plain, conversational text. Citations appear below, but they’re often small, grey links hidden under expandable sections.
For many users, the overview feels complete on its own.
This design shifts how visibility works online. Ranking high on a search results page once meant recognition and traffic. Now the AI Overview captures attention first, and the original source becomes optional reading. Even when your link is included, the reader may never connect your name with the information they consume.
