No AI search feature reaches more people than Google\u2019s AI Overviews, which makes its sources some of the most consequential on the\u00a0web.<\/p>\n

AI Overviews are the AI-generated summaries that now sit above traditional Google results \u2014 and their scale is staggering. Google says they reach over 2 billion monthly users across more than 200 countries<\/a>, roughly a quarter of everyone on Earth. When a domain gets cited here, it\u2019s being surfaced to an audience no other AI assistant comes close to. That also makes AI Overviews a flashpoint for publishers worried about losing clicks.<\/p>\n

To see which sites Google\u2019s summaries favour, we tracked every domain AI Overviews cited across a broad set of US queries, then ranked them by mention share<\/strong> \u2014 each domain\u2019s slice of all the citations the top sources collectively earn. The leader is www.youtube.com<\/strong>, capturing 20.9%<\/strong> of citations.<\/p>\n

We update this article automatically every month using Agent A, our SEO and marketing agent<\/a>.<\/p>\n
