- How to get my website in AI Overviews
To get your website into AI Overviews, make sure Google can crawl and index your pages and show them with a snippet, then publish clear answers to the questions your clients ask.

Why does ChatGPT recommend other businesses and never yours?
You asked ChatGPT or Perplexity who to hire for what you do, and it named three companies. None of them was you.
We publish clear, sourced answers to the questions people put to AI assistants, in the structure those assistants quote.
In the last three months, visitors from ChatGPT and Perplexity reached our site [F11] times.
How, then, does a small business become the source an AI assistant cites?
When AI answers started replacing search results, we watched our own traffic and worried. Then we noticed which pages the assistants kept quoting: short, direct answers with a number and a source. We started writing every page that way.
Ignoring AI search
More of your clients ask an assistant first every month, and it will answer without you.
Tricks to game the bots
Hidden prompts and keyword stuffing get pages dropped, not quoted.
A single FAQ page
One page answers ten questions; assistants look for the page that answers one question fully.
500 answer pages built for AI assistants and Google cost $190, or $470 when every page gets its own picture.
- Those [F11] visits came from people who asked an assistant and were sent to us.
