Google is testing a change to how AI Overviews are displayed on desktop. The new design takes up less space in the SERP, appearing shorter overall. We’re assuming this is a new test after comparing it directly with the older, longer version.

Here is the new AI Overview, showing in a shorter format.

If this is indeed a new test, it could be a positive shift for organic sites ranking below the AI Overview. A shorter AI Overview leaves more room for organic results to catch users’ attention, potentially increasing clicks for those websites.
