Become one of the sources Google quotes in AI answers
Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode put a written answer at the top of the results and link to a handful of sources. Being one of those sources keeps you visible even when people don’t scroll.
AI Overviews mostly draw on pages that already rank well, so this work starts with solid SEO. We then make your pages easier to quote: clear answers near the top, structured data, named authors and consistent facts. Sylvan Wye Resort appeared in Google’s AI suggestions within 45 days of its Search Console submission.

Proof
What this looks like in practice
Can I opt in to AI Overviews?
No. Google chooses the sources. You can make your pages easier to understand and trust, which raises the chance of being chosen.
Do AI Overviews reduce website traffic?
For some searches they do, because the answer appears on the results page. Being cited keeps your brand in front of the searcher, and people who want more detail still click through.
Is this different from optimizing for ChatGPT?
The foundations are the same. ChatGPT and Perplexity also draw on web search results, so clear, trusted pages help with all of them.
How long does it take?
Improved pages can be picked up within weeks of Google recrawling them. Competitive topics take longer.
