These reports show how your content performs in AI Overviews and AI Mode\u2014something SEOs have requested since generative search launched. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The rollout came with an unexpected twist: <strong>AI blocking controls.<\/strong> Site owners can now opt specific pages out of AI search features. This responds to publisher concerns about content being used without compensation and gives creators more control over how their work appears in AI responses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it matters since the FAQ Rich Results are gone?<\/strong> For the first time, Google provides direct visibility into AI-driven traffic separate from traditional organic clicks. You'll finally see whether AI Overviews are driving traffic to your content or replacing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The UK connection.<\/strong> The AI controls rollout appears tied to regulatory pressure from the UK government regarding AI content licensing. This suggests more regional variations in AI search controls may emerge as governments worldwide address AI and copyright concerns.<\/p>\n<h3>Spam Policies Now Explicitly Cover AI Search<\/h3>\n<p>Google confirmed in May 2026 that <strong>existing spam policies apply to AI search features.<\/strong> This includes AI Overviews and AI Mode.<\/p>\n<h4>The announcement specifically warned against:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8211; Manipulating citations for AI search<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Buying mentions or citations<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Creating content specifically designed to rank in AI responses rather than serve users<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This clarifies that GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) attempts that violate Google's core principles will face the same penalties as traditional black-hat SEO. The &#8220;new channel, new rules&#8221; thinking is wrong\u2014Google considers AI search just another surface for their core ranking algorithms.<\/p>\n<h3>Links in AI Mode: Five New Improvements<\/h3>\n<p>Google rolled out <strong>five link improvements in AI Mode and AI Overviews<strong> during May-June 2026. The changes focus on making AI-generated responses more link-friendly: <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1. <strong>Better source attribution<strong> \u2014 Links now appear more prominently within AI responses<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>2. <strong>New carousel format<strong> \u2014 Sources display in a swipeable carousel for easier exploration<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><strong><strong>3. <strong>Improved anchor text<strong> \u2014 Link context is clearer in AI-generated answers<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>4. <strong>Source diversity<strong> \u2014 AI Mode now shows more varied sources rather than repeating the same domains<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>5. <strong>Preferred sources expansion<strong> \u2014 Google rolled out preferred sources to all languages globally <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These changes directly address publisher complaints that AI Overviews were &#8220;stealing&#8221; traffic without sending readers to source websites.<\/p>\n<h3>The May 2026 Core Update: A Quick Recap<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>May 2026 core update<strong> rolled out through late May, with volatility hitting hardest on May 30 and June 2. Google officially confirmed the rollout on June 4. The update appears to have affected: <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8211; Site reputation abuse patterns (particularly for EU news sites)<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Content quality signals across multiple verticals<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; UX signals, with stronger competitors pulling ahead on SERPs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sites that experienced ranking drops should wait for the update to fully complete before making changes. Google typically takes 2-4 weeks for major core updates to finish rolling out.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Action Items to Follow now that the <strong>FAQ Rich Results are gone.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>1. <strong>Audit FAQ schema implementation<strong> \u2014 Remove FAQPage markup if it was added purely for SERP benefits. Keep FAQ content that genuinely serves users. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Review AI performance reports<strong> \u2014 Once available in your Search Console, analyze how AI features impact your traffic. Compare AI-driven clicks versus traditional organic. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Decide on AI opt-out<strong> \u2014 Evaluate whether blocking AI features makes sense for specific pages. Consider brand visibility versus traffic impact. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Focus on authentic optimization<strong> \u2014 Google explicitly warned against gaming AI citations. Build genuine authority rather than pursuing citation manipulation. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Monitor core update impact<strong> \u2014 If affected by the May 2026 update, document changes before making adjustments. Wait for full rollout completion. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>What stays the Same now that the <strong>FAQ Rich Results are gone?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4>Despite the changes, fundamental SEO principles remain intact:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8211; <strong>Quality content wins<strong> \u2014 AI systems cite authoritative, well-structured content. The path to AI visibility runs through genuine expertise.<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>&#8211; <strong>Technical excellence matters<strong> \u2014 Fast loading, mobile optimization, and clean markup remain essential.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><strong><strong>&#8211; <strong>User experience signals count<strong> \u2014 Google explicitly noted that stronger competitors pull ahead because the whole experience is better.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>&#8211; <strong>Distributed authority builds<strong> \u2014 Brand mentions across Wikipedia, news, forums, and social platforms continue correlating with AI citation likelihood. <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The June 2026 changes feel dramatic, but they're refinements to a system that still rewards the same core behaviours: creating genuinely useful content and building authentic online authority.<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!--authority-ninja-box--><\/p>\n<div class=\"authority-ninja-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;border-radius: 20px;padding: 16px;background-color: #f9f9f9;margin-bottom: 24px\" data-authority-ninja=\"1\"><strong>Article by <a href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/JrNCWaEYcyIIvJ5s2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Geoff Lord, The Marketing Tutor<\/a>, Internet Marketing Consultants, AI Content Creators, Web designers and Local SEO Specialist.<\/strong><br \/>\nSupporting readers across the World for over 30 years.<br \/>\nThe Marketing Tutor provides detailed insights into Google's decision to eliminate FAQ rich results from search appearances and implement AI controls.<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<h5>Join Our Mailing List To Learn More About SEO Tactics<\/h5>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\" width=\"30%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6957 size-thumbnail aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/marketing-tutor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Geoff-Lord-What-is-SEO-768x432.png\" alt=\" width=\" height=\"142\" \/><\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" width=\"30%\">\n<blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left\">This Report Compiled By:<\/h4>\n<p>Geoff Lord<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/marketing-tutor.com\/blog\/seo-trends-daily-briefing-may-2-2026\/\">The Marketing Tutor<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" width=\"33%\">\n<div align=\"center\"><label for=\"name\">Name<\/label><br \/>\n<label for=\"email\">Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none\"><label for=\"hp\">HP<\/label>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Sources.<\/h4>\n<p>&#8211; [Search Engine Roundtable: June 2026 Google Webmaster Report](https:\/\/www.seroundtable.com\/june-2026-google-webmaster-report-41446.html)<br \/>\n&#8211; [Search Engine Journal: Google Drops FAQ Rich Results](https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/google-drops-faq-rich-results-from-search\/574429\/)<br \/>\n&#8211; [Search Engine Land: Google FAQ Rich Results Deprecation](https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/google-to-no-longer-support-faq-rich-results-476957)<br \/>\n&#8211; [ALM Corp: FAQ Rich Results No Longer Supported](https:\/\/almcorp.com\/blog\/google-faq-rich-results-no-longer-supported\/)<br \/>\n&#8211; [OrangeMonke: FAQ Rich Results Removed](https:\/\/orangemonke.com\/blogs\/google-drops-faq-rich-results-from-search\/)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google&#8217;s June 2026 SEO Updates report states that FAQ Rich Results are gone and have&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[146],"class_list":["post-8495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advanced-seo-strategies"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Google&#039;s June 2026 SEO Updates report states that FAQ Rich Results are gone and have been replaced by AI Controls Launch.
