Google’s AI features guidance states that there are no additional technical requirements and no special schema required to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode. It specifically points site owners back to the same foundations: crawl access, internal links, good page experience, visible textual content, quality media, and structured data that matches visible text.
That same guidance also notes that AI Overviews and AI Mode can surface a wider and more diverse set of helpful links while users explore complex questions. In practice, that means pages need to be genuinely helpful, well structured, and easy to connect to supporting subtopics, not simply stuffed with AI-related keywords.
