AI Overviews in 2025

Harm CTR & traffic, even for featured sites.

Strongest presence in informational queries less in transactional/commercial.

It's not literally possible to read people's thoughts, but there's been a lot of discussion about how Google Facebook trackers seem to display targeted ads based on what users are thinking.

Essentially, these ads appear based on the probability of topics being mentioned in phone calls or texts.
