To gain visibility in AI-powered search results like Google AI, it’s important to adopt generative engine optimization now and take active steps to produce relevant, informative and authoritative content that specifically addresses your target audience’s information needs.
How do I opt into search generative experience?
The SGE experiment is currently available through Search Labs, Google’s experimental version of its search engine. Participants must be based in the U.S. or a participating country and possess an active Gmail account.
