Google Finally Launches AI Overviews in US Search Results | Friday SEO Tip

I’m so excited to share this with you–the moment is finally here! Google is rolling out the Search Generative Experience (SGE). It’s now called AI Overviews, and it’s currently being launched to everyone in the United States.

The news broke at Google I/O 2024, an event where Google announces new developments regarding products and services. Check out this recap video when you have the time to learn what’s happening with the search engine giant. It’s about 10 minutes long, but it’s worth the watch. And when you want to see AI Overviews in action, check out the video above.

It’s probably no surprise that AI Overviews is the development I’m most excited about. As you can see in the video above, people typing queries in America will see a significant change in search results in the coming days. Above the typical list of sites, there will be an overview of content stitched together from multiple sources across the web.

What does this mean for SEO?Well, the game is changing. Thankfully, BSM has been preparing for this. We’ve developed a methodology for getting included as a source in the overview. If you want to learn how to optimize the pages on your site, join our workshop on Thursday, June 20, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. EDT. This half-day course will teach you how to master Google’s AI Overviews. Click here to learn more.

And if you want to see the Micro-SEO Strategy℠ in action? Check out this case study we just published. Using this methodology, we created a page about class lists, and it’s now ranking #2. (And we’re doing everything possible to get it to #1!)

Lastly, if you’re in Shanghai next week, check out tcworld China 2024. On May 24^th, I’ll be giving a talk about AI Overviews and how it’s changing global content marketing. If you’re not ready, this is worth attending!
