#Ai overviews

How AI answer engines choose and cite sources, and what a publisher can reasonably do about it. We cover what makes a passage quotable, why a clear self-contained answer near the top matters more than length, and how structured FAQ blocks help. You will also find what these systems do not reward, so you can stop spending effort there.

The practical advice is the kind that also makes the page better for a human reader.
