Google tests more prominent source links in AI Search results
In one minute
Google is changing AI Mode and AI Overviews to surface links and source context more visibly.
Key takeaways
Google is changing AI Mode and AI Overviews to surface links and source context more visibly.
What happened
Google says it is moving inline links higher in some AI-generated responses and testing a dedicated area for official sources. Its announcement also describes richer news links and creator information. Some elements are tests, so availability and effects on publisher traffic are not yet known.
Why it matters
Clearer source links could help users inspect information behind AI summaries and help publishers receive visits.
What to watch
Rollout details and independent traffic data will show whether users actually click through more often.
