- Choosing Therapy found that 38.32% of mental health keywords include AI Overviews. In particular, 72% of all citations come from the top 20 most cited sites. Websites with a DR of over 80 are more likely to be cited in AI Overviews, and sites with a DR of over 90 have significantly higher chances of being cited than sites with a DR of less than 90.
-Lily Ray came to a similar conclusion: most of the sites cited in AI Overviews are popular medical sites with high authority that often appear in regular search results. This indicates that Google considers a certain corpus of medical websites to be reliable and predominantly uses them for AI Overviews.
-The Choosing Therapy study also shows that websites with a DR of less than 80 are less than 5% likely to be sources in AI Overviews. Most of the sites cited for medical commercial queries usually do not have a high ranking in the SERPs.
-Lily Ray notes that there are many other sites that are cited in AI Overviews but do not appear in regular search results. In particular, these sites are often international, from India or New Zealand, but in English. Many of them look low-quality, with lots of ads, bad stock photos, and no signs of expertise. This is surprising, as Google usually does not include such sites in its search results for important medical queries in the United States. This suggests that some sites from India have found a way to break into AI Overviews through commercial medical queries. Our spammers should learn from this experience.
