# Google AI Overview

> The AI-generated summary Google places above the classic result list for some queries.

## What it means in practice

Overviews appear on a minority of queries, and Google does not publish which. Their absence is a real observation about the query rather than a collection failure, which is why refd records it as a valid result. Google Search Console reports clicks from a page carrying an Overview but does not separate Overview citations from ordinary organic clicks, so Search Console cannot tell you whether you were cited.
