USE CASE · GOOGLE AI OVERVIEWS
The answer now sits above your ranking. Being on page one is no longer being seen.
AI Overviews summarise the answer before a shopper reaches any result. Tru Commerce measures whether your brand is inside that summary, and fixes the structured signals that put it there.
AI Overviews is the AI summary block above Google's traditional results. It compresses the click: shoppers get the answer without scrolling, so the brands named in the summary take the demand that used to flow to rank one.

How Google AI Overviews works
What decides whether it recommends you
The summary sits above rank one
An Overview occupies the position previously worth the most traffic. Holding the top organic result while being absent from the summary is now a common and expensive place to be.
It cites a small set of sources
Overviews name a handful of sources and products. Inclusion is not proportional to ranking - it favours content that answers the specific question cleanly and can be verified.
Product markup is the entry ticket
For commercial questions, Product and Offer markup plus a healthy merchant feed determine whether your item can be named at all.
Impressions rise while clicks fall
The classic symptom is flat or growing impressions in Search Console with falling clicks. That gap is the Overview absorbing the demand.
