From domain launch to Google AI Overview in days.

02 Why AI Overviews are the new front page

Google's AI Overviews now answer a large share of searches directly at the top of the results page, often before any traditional blue link. When an AI Overview cites your site, your brand becomes part of the answer itself, not just one option among ten.

For businesses, that means three things:

03 How we did it: the AEO playbook

No tricks, no paid placement. ThanosLab.com won its AI Overview citation with the same fundamentals our Thanos AEO AI agent applies to client sites:

• Entity-first positioningOne unambiguous definition of what the business is, "supervised AI agents for websites," repeated consistently across the homepage title, meta description, headers, and body copy, so answer engines can classify the brand with confidence.
• Question-shaped contentCopy written the way people actually ask: what it is, what it does, who it's for. Short declarative answers up front, detail below, the exact structure large language models prefer to quote.
• Consistent brand signals everywhereMatching business name, description, and URL across the website, LinkedIn company page, and Google Business Profile, so every source corroborates the same entity.
• Technical hygiene from day oneFast-loading pages, clean semantic HTML, descriptive page titles (≤ 60 characters) and meta descriptions (≤ 145 characters), and full mobile responsiveness, removing every friction point between crawlers and comprehension.

The outcome validates the approach: a brand-new domain with zero backlink history was understood, trusted, and cited by Google's AI within 72 hours of launch.
