Google Evaluates Enhanced AI Overviews Designed to Support Recipe Content Publishers

Google is trying out a new version of its AI Overviews for recipe searches. The new design puts content publishers first by showing a short AI summary, highlighting recipe cards, and listing sources at the end.

This update aims to increase the number of visitors to publisher websites and address earlier concerns about lower website traffic resulting from the previous AI Overview format.

The change was first noted by Inspired Taste on X, who commented:

“Meanwhile in the world of AIOs. This is much better, Google. Instead of an untested AI Frankenstein recipe as the default response, there is now a basic recipe overview and rich result links. Credit where it’s due.”
