Sponsored content is gaining visibility in Google's AI experience—though you may not even notice.
These ads are designed to blend in, not stand out.
As the traditional SERP gives way to AI-generated summaries, ads are now being contextually inserted directly inside AI Overviews (AIOs).
Traditional ad formats weren't built for this. But we've already begun testing what resonates in these new answer-driven environments—and what gets ignored.
Let's make sure your brand is the one that shows up when it matters most.
Cheers,

Join me and my team on Wednesday, June 25, as we break it all down in our upcoming live webinar: The Great Google Reset: How to Win in a World of AI
