SEO practitioner Gagan Ghotra observes that press release content is winning in Google AI Overviews, getting cited more often than ordinary site pages. His screenshot shows a 'Viral SEO' anchor linking to a Newsfile press release page, backing the claim.
Takeaway for indie devs and small teams: instead of only publishing on-site content, distributing product launches as press releases (e.g., via Newsfile) may be a cheap path into AI Overviews and AI search traffic.
