  1. Google pushes inline links higher in AI Mode and AI Overviews

    Google announced on October 15 a set of updates to its AI-powered Search experiences, aimed at making source links easier to find. Inline links will now appear higher up in AI Mode and AI Overviews responses more frequently, and the links at the end of AI answers get a more clickable design with image thumbnails. Carousels for developing topics and Preferred Sources are expanding to more regions and languages after launching earlier this year, with Google saying Preferred Sources usage has grown 7x since then. Google is also testing a dedicated section at the top of AI responses showing the "one or two official places" to complete a task with context on why each link is useful, plus clickable creator and publisher names on video results that lead to their Search profiles. One report says publishers in the News AI pilot now exceed 400, with Axios, CNN and the Financial Times among recent additions.

  2. Semrush: ChatGPT leans on news sites more than any other AI platform

    Semrush, which Adobe owns, published its 2026 AI Visibility Index, saying it ran 2.5 million UK prompts and 25 million US prompts each month across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews, covering January to July 2026 and 22 industry categories. It found news and information sites took an average 29.5% of citations among ChatGPT's 100 most-cited UK domains and 19.6% in the US, rising month by month from January to July and ahead of Gemini, AI Mode and AI Overviews. The study also found being mentioned is not the same as being cited as a source — fewer than half of top-100 mentioned brands also appeared among top-100 cited domains — while Google's AI Overviews cited medical reference sites more than rivals and video streaming sites led by YouTube took the largest citation share there.

  3. Google app rolls out redesigned search bar with a plus icon

    Google is rolling out a redesigned home-page search bar in the Google app: it is slimmer, has a white background with a subtle bordered shadow effect, and adds a plus icon on the left for attaching images or files, creating images with Nano Banana, or switching models for AI Mode. The Nano Banana and Search Live buttons below the bar are now labeled “Create” and “Talk”. Android Authority says the new design appears with Google app version 17.65.17 and showed up on all of its test devices.
