Google has rolled out news updates and top stories within the AI Overviews section in Google Search. A Google spokesperson has confirmed this rollout is fully live in the United States for mobile users.<\/p>

What it looks like. <\/strong>As I covered on the Search Engine Roundtable when we saw it begin to roll out, here are some screenshots I snapped of this feature:<\/p>

More details. <\/strong>This is part of Google\u2019s announcement from May where Google announced \u201cfresh perspectives, new updates and prominent links,\u201d within the AI Overviews.<\/p>

Google said then, \u201cNow, for some searches when you have a question about a developing topic, you\u2019ll start seeing a prominent carousel, which will also highlight your Preferred Sources. This will help make timely articles more visible on a wider range of queries.\u201d<\/p>

That feature is now fully live for some queries in the U.S. on mobile.<\/p>

Why we care. <\/strong>This feature can improve clicks to news publishers and really help send clicks from Google\u2019s AI search features, like AI Overviews and AI Mode.<\/p>

We hope Google continues with its promise to improve clicks to the open web with future search features like this and others.<\/p>

If AI can\u2019t find you, customers won\u2019t either<\/span>. <\/p>
