SEO Runway Platform Verified: This guide utilizes live telemetry, algorithms, and automated workflows from the Keyword Rank Tracker & AI Search Overview Auditing (Navigation coordinate: /projects//keywords/ & /projects//ai_search/).
1. The Impact of Zero-Click Search Growth
For simple definitional queries, Google AI Overviews satisfy user intent directly on the search results page. To preserve organic traffic, enterprise search teams must audit their keyword portfolios to distinguish between 'summarizable' queries (at risk of zero-click loss) and 'interactive' queries (requiring deep tools or datasets).

2. Identifying AI Overview Queries in SEO Runway
In SEO Runway → Keywords, look at the SERP Features column. A purple AI icon indicates that Google generates an AI Overview for that query. Hover over the feature icon to see whether your URL is cited as a source card in the carousel.
// WORKFLOW VERIFICATION BENCHMARKSTATUS: PRODUCTION READY
Google AI Overviews push traditional organic #1 positions down by an average of 450 to 900 vertical pixels on mobile screens.
Websites included in the AI Overview source card carousel capture up to 34% of the total query click-through volume.
SEO Runway's Keyword Rank Tracker automatically flags queries triggering Google AI Overviews on desktop and mobile SERPs.
Focus content on complex, multi-variable queries that require downloadable templates, interactive tools, or proprietary research that AI cannot summarize.
You cannot stop Google from showing AI Overviews, but you can ensure that your domain is the primary source card users click inside the overview.
