Lily Ray noted on X, "when you type 'Who is XYZ site'... the Google AI Overview result seems to not include links to that site. Just a bunch of other sites that talk about the site." "Seems like there is some kind of filter in place to prevent HCU sites from being linked to in here?" Her statement highlights the apparent omission of mentioned sites due to updates, raising questions about AI's adaptability in reflecting search outputs correctly.
Glenn Gabe added, "Just checked a bunch of HCUX sites (even ones that bounced back a bit with the August core update), and they don't show up in AIOs for their own brand/site. I think I found one that did... but most didn't. Very interesting." This indicates a probable underlying filter within Google's AI, challenging how recovery from core updates is recognized by the AI Overviews.
The article discusses how Google AI Overviews fail to link to sites impacted by the Helpful Content Update, despite these sites ranking high in traditional search results. Users question the credibility and functionality of the AI in representing relevant information.
