It looks like this prevents the content from being used in the AI Overview at all (thx for pointing me here @AndyBeard)<br>Not sure why this isn\u2019t a much bigger deal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Catch_of_Disabling_SGE_AI_Overviews\"><\/span>The Catch of Disabling SGE AI Overviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, here\u2019s the catch. John Mueller shared a link in his tweet replying to Barry. According to the link, using the <code>nosnippet<\/code> tag will result in the snippet being excluded from web search, Google Images, Discover, AI Overviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnMu\/status\/1790681145195086193\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The document says: &#8220;Do not show a text snippet or video preview in the search results for this page. A static image thumbnail (if available) may still be visible, when it results in a better user experience. This applies to all forms of search results (at Google: web search, Google Images, Discover, AI Overviews) and will also prevent the content from being used as a direct input for AI Overviews.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&#8217;t specify this rule, Google may generate a text snippet and video preview based on information found on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To exclude certain sections of your content from appearing in search result snippets, use the data-nosnippet HTML attribute.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In essence, while the <code>nosnippet<\/code> tag prevents your content from appearing in snippets, it also stops it from being used as a direct input for AI Overviews. This means your content won\u2019t be shown as part of these overviews at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this might seem like a good way to maintain control, it could also reduce the visibility of your site on Google&#8217;s platforms. So, use this feature carefully and consider whether the benefits outweigh the potential drawbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s another wrinkle to consider. Google says that links in AI Overviews get more clicks than traditional web search results. Hema Budaraju, the Senior Director of Product and search Generative Experience at Google, told us that the link cards within AI Overviews generate a higher click-through rate (CTR) than traditional web search results. However, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/google-search-console-update\/\">Google Search Console<\/a>, Google will not break down impressions and click data for AI Overview links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Methods_to_Prevent_Content_from_Appearing_in_SGE_AI_Overviews\"><\/span>Methods to Prevent Content from Appearing in SGE AI Overviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alright, now let\u2019s get into the nitty-gritty.
