Google AI Overviews links US searchers to the Australian version of Google's own page
lilyraynyc · x · 2026-10-29
SEO expert Lily Ray found another internationalization failure in Google AI Overviews—this time affecting Google's own pages. Searching from the US to learn about Google's creator profiles, the AI Overview linked her to the Australian version of the page (creators.google/enau). Screenshots show the AI summary card citing the "Google for Creators Search profile" link, which indeed lands on the AU page—another reliability miss for AI Overviews on geo-targeting.
