We're now being cited in Google AI Overviews for core SEO terms.. right next to Moz and SEMRush 👀 No links, no authority play, just clever old school NLP SEO re-tuned for the new AI search interface... Here is the STEP-BY-STEP play: 1 - Reverse engineer SERP gaps; Your site needs to be able to rank in the traditional algo first, so pages where you are already in the top 100 are a must and the higher the start, the better the result. 2 - Identify the gaps between what THEY cover and what the AI Overview is trying to answer. 3 - Write a section on YOUR page that fills that exact gap, formatted clearly with a definition, example, or list that Google can easily extract as a standalone chunk. I added several more anchor text types using this exact method, "generic" wasn't the only one I targeted here. 4 - Make sure that chunk can stand alone as a complete answer to a sub-question within the broader topic. That's it! You're not competing for the whole page, you're competing for ONE chunk of the AI Overview. It's very similar to how we used to optimize for featured snippets, but with a lot more dynamic inputs required - It's usually not the one H2 anymore, you need to optimize (at least) several chunks to have the best chance of getting visibility. In this case, we were cited for the definition because our page had the clearest, most concise explanation with a practical example - Something our competitors either buried in paragraphs or didn't isolate properly. Unfortunately, we usually don't get to directly "win" a #1 spot anymore in these new SERPs, BUT the upside is you can now get visibility for queries your page would NEVER have ranked #1 for traditionally.. and you can get cited MULTIPLE times across the same AI Overview if you optimize several chunks well. Less clicks, more visibility and "brand awareness" - A lot of corporate marketers would actually prefer this anyway.... And this all rewards going broader and deeper on your pages. The more well structured, extractable chunks you have, the more chances you give Google to pull from you. The traditional algo is linear, this new search is much more dynamic, less ranking, more retrieval.
