Jake Zward argues the AI-search conversation fixates on ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity while ignoring scale: Google AI Overviews alone handles 5.9B searches a day versus 200M/day across major AI platforms — a 30x gap — excluding AI Mode and Gemini, both past 1B monthly users.
If you want visibility in AI answers, Google comes first. His checklist: rank in Google so LLMs can retrieve you, win queries that trigger AI Overviews, optimize pages for them, own your branded SERP and entity signals, get featured in sources Google trusts, and track AI Overviews performance.
