Google boosts visibility of inline links in AI Overviews and AI Mode
Google announced updates to its AI search features that place inline links higher and more frequently in responses, add link carousels for timely articles, and make end-of-query links more visually prominent with thumbnails. It's also testing clickable publisher profile links in AI Mode and says over 400 publishers now participate in its News AI licensing pilot, with Axios, CNN, and the Financial Times newly joining.
