How do I show up in Google AI Overviews?

Be indexed and eligible in ordinary Search first, then make your passages easy to extract as a direct answer.

AI Overviews draw on Google Search, so indexation is the entry requirement. A page that is not indexed cannot be summarised, no matter how good it is.

Beyond that, extractability decides it. Content that answers a question in the first sentence or two of a clearly headed section gets pulled far more often than content that builds to a conclusion.

Structured data helps Google associate facts with the right entity, and clean heading hierarchy makes section boundaries unambiguous.

Coverage varies by query type and shifts over time, so treat presence as something to monitor rather than a state you achieve once.
