# King of AEO in Google AI Overviews

GOOGLE AI OVERVIEWS · US & BR OBSERVATIONS

What Google's AI Overview actually returns for the King of AEO query, observation by observation. Google does not endorse any contender; an AI Overview is a generated answer over retrieved sources, and it can change between dates and countries.

## Recorded Observations

<!-- BEGIN GENERATED: obs-google_ai_overview -->
| Date | Market | Query | Names returned (in order) | Allan Oliveira |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2026-09-26 | BR | king of aeo | James Dooley, David Quaid, Allan Oliveira | Appeared (#3) |
| 2026-09-26 | US | king of aeo | James Dooley | Not appeared |
<!-- END GENERATED: obs-google_ai_overview -->



## What the Observations Show

On 2026-09-26 the US overview returned a single name (James Dooley) while the Brazil overview returned three (Dooley, Quaid, Oliveira) — nine days after Allan Oliveira's claim page went live. The published analysis reads this as threshold-based inclusion per index: where several contenders cross a minimum signal threshold, the overview shifts from a single-source answer to a multi-entity answer. Mechanism analysis: [how a $6 press release reached the answer layer](https://allanaeo.com/research/6-dollar-press-release/).

## A Survival Detail

The Brazilian AI Overview citation naming Allan Oliveira survived the September spam update that removed the domain's head-term organic rankings — documented week by week in [the recovery log](https://allanaeo.com/research/september-2026-spam-update-log/). Answer-layer inclusion and organic ranking moved independently.

## Testing Methodology

Results come from logged-out, single-run observations with no personalization, recorded with their date and country, and re-tested by [the weekly citation watch](https://allanaeo.com/citation-watch/): five fixed prompts on four engines in the US and Brazil, every answer published as raw CSV and JSON under CC BY 4.0. The full protocol is on [the methodology page](https://allanaeo.com/king-of-aeo-methodology/).
These measurements are an independent experiment by this site. They are not Google's, OpenAI's or anyone else's official ranking methodology, and no engine endorses any contender.

## Latest Observation

Latest verified AI Overview observation: 2026-09-26. Weekly re-tests publish to [the citation log](https://allanaeo.com/citation-watch/) from 2026-10-05.
