Google adds clearer source links and creator context to AI Search
Google says AI Mode and AI Overviews are gaining more prominent inline links, broader article carousels and clickable creator profiles. A prominent official-site section is being tested, so that element is not generally available. For publishers and creators, the change may affect how readers reach original sites, but Google has not established traffic outcomes from this update.
