How AI Overviews & AI Mode Are Changing Google Ads
(And What You Can Do About It)


Introduction
Google search is evolving—again. With the introduction of AI Overviews and AI Mode, the way
users interact with search results is shifting fast. But what does that mean for your Google Ads
visibility, CTR, and PPC performance?
Let’s break it down and help you adapt your strategy.
What Are AI Overviews and AI Mode?
AI Overviews (formerly called SGE) are summaries generated by Google's AI. Instead of just
links, searchers now get quick answers at the top of the page—before they ever scroll.
AI Mode lets users interact in a chat-like conversation. It remembers past queries and provides
highly personalized answers—often without requiring users to click any links at all.
This means we’re entering the age of zero-click search—and your ads might be pushed further
down.
How This Impacts Google Ads
1. Lower Visibility for Traditional Ads
With AI-generated answers taking up the top space, your ads may show up lower on the page,
especially on mobile. That can affect impressions and CTR.
2. Fewer Clicks for Research Keywords
If users get their answers instantly, they’re less likely to click your ad—especially for
informational keywords.
What You Can Do: Google Ads Strategy Tips
Focus on High-Intent Keywords
Go after keywords that AI can’t fully answer.
Example:
●
Instead of: "What is IVF treatment?"

● Use: "Best IVF clinic near me" or "IVF cost in Bangalore"

Prioritize Local and Product Ads
AI Overviews often highlight shopping ads and local services. Make sure your business is
visible with:
● Google My Business optimization

● Product Listing Ads (PLAs)

Improve Your Ad Copy
Make your message stand out with emotion and action.
Example:
Instead of: “We offer dental implants,”
Use: “Get your confident smile back—book your free dental implant consultation today!”
Will CPC Go Up or Down?
● Short term: Expect CPC to rise due to limited space.

● Long term: New ad formats may help stabilize costs.

Tip: Use automated bidding like Target ROAS or Maximize Conversions to stay efficient.

Clicks might drop, but that doesn’t mean performance has. Track:
● View-through conversions

● Brand recall

● Offline conversions

Integrate Google Ads with GA4 for better conversion tracking across user journeys.

New Ad Formats in the AI World
Google is already testing AI-powered formats like:
● Conversational Ads: Appear in AI chat mode

● Visual Shopping Ads: Rich product images with summaries

● AI-Generated Creatives: Powered by Performance Max & Demand Gen campaigns

Tip: Use your customer data (like remarketing lists) to make your ads more personalized and
AI-friendly.
Final Thoughts
Yes, search is changing. But the fundamentals remain:
● Be helpful

● Target high intent

● Adapt quickly
