My site was getting a lot of impressions and clicks from being cited in AI Overviews. A few days ago(26 October), traffic suddenly dropped by about 90%.
What I've checked in GSC:
- The affected pages are still crawled and indexed
- Average position is still top 5
- The drop is in clicks and impressions, not rankings
So it looks like we lost the AI Overview citations rather than organic rankings but I can't confirm that from GSC alone.
Has anyone else seen something similar recently? Was there a Google update or AI Overview change I missed?
