Not really. Google has confirmed that AI Overviews use the same signals as regular search — things like page quality, relevance to the query, and authority of the website. AI doesn’t invent its own set of rules; it still pulls answers from Google’s existing index. That means your SEO work — creating clear, answer-first content, maintaining a crawlable site structure, and building credibility — helps you show up in both AI and traditional search results. The difference is that AI surfaces answers faster, which makes clarity and trust signals even more important.
