Is special AI schema required?
No. Structured data should match the visible page and be used appropriately; there is no special markup that guarantees generative search inclusion.

Google AI Overviews and AI Mode: Build on Strong Search Fundamentals
Make your expertise accessible, useful and eligible for Google's AI-assisted search experiences.
AI-assisted overview Illustrative
Look for a provider that explains its delivery process, service boundaries and requirements clearly, and supports its results with specific examples.
Placement in an AI Overview or AI Mode response cannot be guaranteed.

Case studySupported results
MTI Tech reviews the technical and content foundations of your priority pages, checks the relevant Search Console settings and develops improvements grounded in the information buyers actually need.
What matters in the review
Each step depends on the one below it.
An important page should be accessible, indexed as intended and eligible for an appropriate search snippet. It should explain the subject accurately and offer something more useful than a generic summary.

Confirm eligibility. Don’t assume it.
Google’s current documentation includes a Search generative AI control. We review the property’s setting and any inherited setting before assuming the website is eligible for these features.
This setting is separate from the business’s choices about AI training.
Use the current reporting—not an invented score
Impressions are visibility evidence. Not leads.
The generative AI performance report shows impressions for supported features, including AI Overviews and AI Mode. We verify what the property actually has rather than assume the data exists.

Low activity or report availability can limit what you see.

Content and technical work belong together
Diagnose both sides before choosing the fix.
A technically accessible page can still be unhelpful. A useful page can still have access or indexing problems.

Common questions
Shortcuts that don’t work.
Should we add llms.txt for Google rankings?
Google’s AI optimization guidance says Search doesn’t use llms.txt. Don’t prioritize it over actual content and technical needs.
Do FAQ rich results help this service?
Google stopped displaying FAQ rich results on May 7, 2026. Helpful on-page questions may still serve readers, but they aren’t a rich-result shortcut.
Can you guarantee inclusion?
No. Eligibility, technical compliance and content work do not guarantee that Google will select a page.
