Short, direct answers + smart content strategy = better chances to show up
AI Overviews (also known as Google’s AI-generated summaries) are changing how people find information online. Instead of just showing a list of websites, Google may now give users a quick summary at the top of the results—pulled from different sites it sees as helpful.
So how do you get your site featured in those summaries?
Focus on clear, helpful answers
Write content that directly answers common questions your audience asks. Think like a customer and use simple, conversational language. Use headings to break things up and help Google find the info easily.
Target long-tail keywords
These are specific, often question-based phrases like:
-
“how often should I water a succulent”
-
“best accountant for small business taxes”
Pages that clearly answer these types of questions are more likely to be included in summaries.
Stay up to date
Search is changing fast, and so is what Google features in AI Overviews. With a diib Pro membership, you’ll get alerts when search trends shift, new competitor keywords appear, and when there are chances to update your site for better visibility.
Add structured content when you can
If you're comfortable with it (or have someone helping), using things like FAQ sections or schema markup can help Google better understand your content. But this isn’t required—what matters most is writing clear, useful content.
