How do I get my business to show up in Google’s AI Overviews?

AI Overviews are the AI-generated summaries Google now shows above the normal results, and you earn a place in them much the way you earn a featured snippet - by answering a specific question clearly and being a source Google already trusts:

• Answer the question directly - lead a page or section with a concise, complete answer to a real question people ask, then expand below it.
• Structure for extraction - clear headings, short paragraphs and lists make a passage easy to lift into a summary.
• Build trust the ordinary way - AI Overviews pull from pages that already rank well, so solid SEO and genuine E-E-A-T remain the foundation.
• Cover the long-tail questions - specific, lower-competition queries are where a small business is most likely to be cited.

There is no separate AI Overviews button to press - the same answer-first, trustworthy content that wins snippets is what gets cited.
