AI Overviews optimization

Tuning a page for Google’s AI Overviews specifically: structure it with a question as an H2/H3 followed by a 40–60 word “answer target” paragraph, add comparison tables and definition patterns, and lean on existing top-10 rankings plus Google-owned signals like YouTube and Reddit. The link between top-10 ranking and citation has weakened (from ~76% to ~38% of citations) but still matters.
