Google Moves AI Search Links Higher as News Pilot Tops 400 Publications

Google is changing how AI Overviews and AI Mode display website links, adding more prominent routes from AI-generated Search answers to websites as it expands related features. Announced Thursday, Oct. 15, the updates place inline links higher in responses more often. A test will put a section near the top of some answers featuring one or two official websites relevant to a task or information need. Each link will include context explaining why it may be useful. Google is also beginning to expand timely-article carousels to additional locations and languages. Those carousels will highlight users’ Preferred Sources. The number of people using Preferred Sources has grown more than seven times since the start of 2026.
