Press releases are beating regular pages in Google AI Overviews

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.
