- Example

- What you need
- Current campaign and market eligibility, accurate destination, product data where needed and measurement.
- A first test
- Check Google’s current placement requirements rather than creating a campaign solely to force an AI Overview appearance.
- Who it may suit
- Businesses with an eligible Google campaign and a relevant offer; placement is not guaranteed.

Guide notes:
What it is: Eligible paid adverts shown around or within supported Google AI Overviews, which are AI-generated search summaries.
Illustrative example: A retailer checks whether a suitable existing campaign can qualify for an available placement.
May suit: Businesses with an eligible Google campaign and a relevant offer; placement is not guaranteed.
What I need: Current campaign and market eligibility, accurate destination, product data where needed and measurement.
First step: Check Google’s current placement requirements rather than creating a campaign solely to force an AI Overview appearance.
Start by checking suitability and the first step above. Treat announcements, limited tests and actual advertiser account access as different things. Check official current availability, market and campaign eligibility before any recommendation. Advertising is separate from organic search or AI citations, and neither exposure nor results are guaranteed. For vehicle and robot surfaces verify a genuine authorised operator and safe permitted display context. If browsing is available, verify current official access, fees and relevant local requirements; otherwise identify exactly what needs checking. Do not invent permissions, availability, costs, personal experiences or results. Suggest one small test only if appropriate, including all costs, a useful measure and a stopping rule. Then draft the brief or material needed for that first step. Keep the answer practical. Do not publish, buy, sign contracts, collect personal data, open accounts or contact anyone.
