Google SBU & AI Overviews: The future of search is here<\/h2>\n\n

Google Search Generative Experience (SGE)<\/strong>, now officially referred to as “AI Overviews”<\/strong> in the search results, is Google’s revolutionary AI-powered search experience. Instead of just displaying a list of blue links, artificial intelligence generates a summarized, conversational response to the user’s query directly in the search results. This development is changing search engine optimization from the ground up. <\/p>\n\n

What exactly is the Google Search Generative Experience (SGE)?<\/h2>\n\n

Imagine asking Google a complex question like “What’s better for a family of four with a dog, a vacation at the North Sea or in the Alps?”. Instead of you having to open ten different websites, Google Search AI<\/strong> analyzes the best information from the web and presents you with a ready-made, balanced summary right at the top of the search results page. <\/p>\n\n

SGE is therefore more than just a search engine; it is a personal research assistant. The term “generative” means that the AI does not simply copy text modules, but creates<\/em> a completely new, coherent answer based on the processed information. <\/p>\n\n

Important:<\/strong> The original project name was “SGE”. The function that users now see in the USA and soon worldwide is called AI Overviews<\/strong>. For a good SEO strategy, it is important to know both terms. <\/p>\n\n

How does the new “Google Search AI” work?<\/h2>\n\n

The technology behind the AI Overviews is based on Google’s most advanced Large Language Models (LLMs), which have been trained with unimaginable amounts of text and image data from the internet.<\/p>\n\n

The process looks like this:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. A user enters a search query.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Google’s AI analyzes the search intention<\/strong> behind it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. It searches its index for the most trustworthy and relevant sources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. From these sources, it generates a new, easy-to-understand summary (the AI Overview<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Crucial: In addition to the answer, Google displays the websites from which the information originates. Being mentioned here is the new goal of SEO.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    The current status: Google SGE \/ AI Overviews in Germany<\/h2>\n\n

    While AI Overviews<\/strong> have already been rolled out on a large scale in the USA (as of September 2025), the rollout in Europe and specifically for Google SGE in Germany<\/strong> is still in the final phase. Google is testing the function intensively in order to adapt it to linguistic and cultural conditions. Broad availability is expected shortly. For companies, this means that those who prepare now<\/em> will have a decisive competitive advantage as soon as the function goes live. <\/p>\n\n

    The big change: How SGE is changing the SEO world<\/h2>\n\n

    The introduction of AI Overviews is the biggest change to Google Search in years. The impact on SEO is profound: <\/p>\n\n
