Google adds more website links to AI Overviews
Google is rolling out changes to its AI Overviews and AI Mode features to include more links to external websites. A new 'Further Exploration' section at the bottom of AI answers will present relevant articles and analysis in a bulleted list. Additionally, an 'Expert Advice' section may appear, offering snippets from news, reviews, and public forum discussions, each with a link to the full content. These updates aim to address publisher concerns about traffic drops caused by AI Overviews pushing organic search results down the page.
