Google AI Layer

What does Google show about your Maison before the first click?

The stake

Google now answers before it lists: AI Overviews, featured answers, related questions. The rollout is anything but uniform. In the June 2026 Index, AI Overviews triggered on 52.5% of the English queries, and 0% of the French ones — the French rollout is announced for September 2026. A Maison that only reads its domestic market does not see what its international clientele is shown.

What you do with it

What a weak format becomes:

  • An editorial plan for the formats where the Maison is absent.
  • A grounding correction when the Overview repeats an error.
