Cheers, Jeff What you need to know this week... SEO AI overviews in news: Limited visibility, high impact on health queries A study by NewzDash reveals Google's AI Overviews appear in only 3.9% of trending news searches. Health-related queries are most likely to trigger these overviews, with a visibility rate of 29.6%. In contrast, hard news topics see minimal presence of AI Overviews, as Google aims to ensure accuracy in critical areas. The study analyzed over 10,000 trending news keywords and noted that most searches did not generate AI Overviews. For search users, this indicates that while AI Overviews exist, traditional results dominate most categories. Publishers are encouraged to focus on high-quality content and adapt SEO strategies accordingly.
