AI Overviews in Search are coming to Canada! Google is beginning the full rollout of AI Overviews in Canada — helping you search the web in a whole new way, no matter what questions are on your mind. This innovative AI-powered feature simplifies how users connect with web information. 

Key Benefits:

• Connect to the best of the web: Helping people discover content from publishers, businesses and creators remains central to Google’s approach. Google has  introduced more prominent ways to show links to relevant websites within AI Overviews, with a right-hand link display on desktop and a similar experience on mobile, accessible by tapping the site icons in the upper right. 
• Traffic increases: Earlier this month, Google launched in-line links that appear directly within the text of AI Overviews. In testing, both the right-hand link display and in-line links drove an increase in traffic to supporting websites compared to the previous designs, and the link display has made it easier for people to visit sites that interest them.
• Expand your queries: AI Overviews are just one of the ways Google is building AI into Search, and dramatically expanding the kinds of questions you can ask on Google – which creates even more ways for people to explore content online.
