        "text": "Poor mobile experience can seriously hurt your chances of being cited in Google AI Overviews, because most searches and AI usage happen on mobile and Google favors mobile-friendly pages. If your site is hard to use on a phone, it’s a risk factor.\n\nIssues like tiny text, slow load times, intrusive pop-ups, and broken layouts make your content less accessible both to users and to Google’s mobile-first indexing. AI Overviews are built on pages that deliver solid experience across devices.\n\nKey factors:\n- Responsive design that works on small screens\n- Fast mobile load times and optimized images\n- Minimal intrusive interstitials and pop-ups\n- Easy-to-tap navigation and clear headings\n\nPractically, test your key pages on multiple phones, use Google’s mobile-friendly and speed tools, and fix issues before investing heavily in AI Overview optimization. Good content won’t be fully rewarded if the mobile experience is poor.\n\nSoft positioning: Treat mobile usability as a gatekeeper—without clearing it, AI Overview visibility is much harder to achieve.",
