how to increase the chances of getting cited in Google AI Overviews
see 20 to 35% of all Google searches now trigger an AIO
you can rank number 1 and still watch the clicks flatline
because the user got their answer right on top and never came to your page
there’s no deterministic way to know how citations work under the hood, but you can get some directional data
what you can do is pick a handful of keywords and run them across the countries your users are actually in
then check which pages are getting cited, and whether your brand is one of them
then compare your content against what’s getting cited for those keywords
the difference is your gap: what those pages cover that yours doesn’t
close that gap, and your chances of getting cited go up
that’s exactly what we built the AI Overview Tracker inside Outrank to do
it’s free. let me know what you think
