AI SEO

AI Overviews now appear for almost three quarters of the Hungarian keywords we studied

We analysed 10,000 keywords from 142 websites across 22 topics to see where Google’s AI Overviews are spreading, and how fast. A full year of data, with real searches and topic cards.

Executive summary

Google launched AI Overviews in Hungary in May 2025. Today an AI-written answer appears for 72% of the keywords we studied, and in 61% of cases it is the very first element on the search results page, above the classic results.

Accelerating spread

On a two-month average, the share rose from 29% to 73% in a year, an increase of 44 percentage points. Growth was slow until summer 2026, then the share jumped to 52% in August, 70% in September and 74% in October.

88% / 46%

Yes for questions, less so for purchases

In September and October 2026, AI Overviews appeared for 88% of informational searches, 76% of commercial (comparison) searches, 64% of navigational searches and 46% of transactional searches.

20-100%

Shares vary by topic

In jobs and education, family, vehicles and hospitality, at least 93% of keywords have an AI Overview. In fashion and beauty the share is below 30%, and in electronics and sports it is under half of keywords.

6%

Where there is a product block, AI Overviews are rare

Only 6% of mobile search results pages with a product block also show an AI Overview. This is linked to the low shares in fashion, beauty and electronics.

About the methodology

Sample

We analysed 10,000 keywords from 142 websites, spread evenly across 22 topics.

One-year time series

Stored Google search results pages for the keywords between November 2025 and October 2026, roughly every two months per keyword.

Follow-up check

On 28 October 2026 we also pulled live search results pages for 1,000 keywords, on mobile and desktop. Stored pages do not capture AI Overviews that load late, after the page has rendered, so we calibrated the time series topic by topic against the follow-up check. The estimate assumes that the share of late-loading AI Overviews within a topic did not change during the year.

Limitations

The sample consists mostly of keywords with a search volume above 100 per month. Figures by topic are estimates and indicative only.

Additional breakdowns

Breakdowns by keyword length, search volume and other search results page elements come from the 28 October follow-up check (1,000 keywords, mainly mobile).

Change

We express change in percentage points: if the share rises from 29% to 73%, that is an increase of 44 percentage points. Multipliers (such as 2.5×) are used only in the executive summary.

03

What changed over the past year?

In November 2025, AI Overviews appeared for 27% of the keywords we studied. This spring the share moved between 29% and 37%, it was 39% in July, then rose to 52% in August, 70% in September and 74% in October. The biggest jump came between August and September 2026.

What does this mean?

In one year, AI Overviews spread from a quarter of searches to three quarters: today they appear for three quarters of the keywords we studied, usually at the top of the search results page. Last year’s traffic and click data are therefore not a reliable benchmark for this year’s planning.

Not a year ago, but now: some examples

None of the stored search results pages for these searches showed an AI Overview between November 2025 and August 2026. By autumn 2026, they do.

How does Hungary compare internationally?

15.7%US, full keyword databaseSemrush, 10 million+ keywords, November 2025
88%US, commercial keywordsSemrush, 400 keywords, desktop, August 2026
72%Hungary, keywords studiedMarkestic, 1,000 keywords, mobile, October 2026

According to the most widely cited international study, the Semrush AI Overviews Study, AI Overviews appeared for 6.5% of keywords in the US database (more than 10 million keywords) in January 2025, 24.6% in July and 15.7% in November. On a narrower US sample of 400 commercial keywords (Semrush, desktop), the share rose from 46% to 88% between September 2025 and August 2026.

The figures are not directly comparable. Semrush’s full database includes many rarely searched long-tail phrases, our sample consists mostly of keywords with more than 100 searches a month, and our measurement also counts late-loading AI Overviews. The commercial sample, in turn, contains only comparison searches made before a purchase (reviews, prices, “which is best”).

What matches

AI Overviews are moving beyond informational queries. In the US, the informational share of searches that trigger an AI Overview fell from 91% to 57% between January and October 2025. In Hungary the same share fell from 67% to 61% between late 2025 and autumn 2026, while the navigational share rose from 7% to 15%.

What differs

In the US study, real estate and shopping were the least affected topics in November 2025 (below 3%). They were at the bottom in Hungary too (real estate at 10%), but real estate has since jumped to 76%. According to the US data, longer queries trigger AI Overviews more often; in Hungary, on mobile, one-word searches lead (83%).

What does this mean?

The Hungarian market is not lagging behind the US: for regularly searched Hungarian keywords we now measure a share as high as international studies find for pre-purchase searches. US analyses are therefore worth reading as a description of the Hungarian situation today, not as a forecast.

05

Which search intents?

Google shows AI Overviews most often for informational searches (“how”, “what is”, “why”), but the share grew for all four intents. The biggest increase (+52 percentage points) was in navigational searches, where the user is looking for a specific website or brand.

AI Overview share by search intent

Every two months, mobile

Examples: informational “how to”, “what is”; commercial “which is best”, “X or Y”; navigational the name of a website or brand; transactional “price”, “sale”, “order”.

What does this mean?

AI Overviews are no longer limited to research-type questions. When someone searches for a company name or a specific service, it is increasingly the AI at the top of the search results page that tells them what the company does and what it offers.

What does this mean?

The differences between topics are bigger than the changes over time: in the same month, AI answers almost every search in one area and hardly any in another. It is worth checking your own keywords separately, because the market average can be misleading.

07

Where there is a product block, AI Overviews are rare

1%of mobile search results pages with an AI Overview also show a product block
41%of pages without an AI Overview show a product block
6%of pages with a product block also show an AI Overview

In the late-October follow-up check, the product block (product cards with price and image) and the AI Overview almost never appeared together. Desktop shows the same picture: 1% and 31%. This explains much of the low share in the bottom-ranked topics. Sports is different: searches for results and league tables are answered by Google’s knowledge panel.

For online shops, the product block is the main battleground, and the quality of product data (price, stock, ratings, product feed) decides the outcome. For searches about services, finance or travel, however, an AI Overview now typically appears above the results.

For the highest-volume keywords, above 10,000 searches a month, the share is lower at 58%: many of these are brand, product and results searches, where Google’s own boxes (knowledge panel, product block, sports results) provide the answer. The sample in this band is small, so the figure is indicative.

What does this mean?

Expect AI Overviews not only for long, question-style searches: they are most common for one-word, generic terms too. For the highest-volume terms, however, Google’s own boxes often still provide the answer.

What does this mean?

The AI mostly draws on Hungarian websites and most often cites those on the first page, but what the AI says about a company does not depend on its website alone. A Facebook page and a Google Business Profile can be sources too, so maintaining them is part of AI visibility.

What does this mean for businesses?

Expect fewer clicks

Where there is an AI Overview, users get their answer on the search results page itself. Informational, content-led websites can expect fewer clicks even if their rankings stay the same.

Good organic rankings matter

More than half of AI Overviews also cite the website of the first organic result.

Your Google Business Profile and Facebook page are sources too

In hospitality, travel and retail, Google’s own Business Profile data feed into the AI answer, and in many topics so does the content of Facebook pages.

The right move depends on the topic

In fashion and beauty, product pages and ads are still the main battleground. In finance, legal and health topics, the AI Overview is already the norm.

Markestic AI trend report, October 2026. Google Hungary, Hungarian language. Stored search results pages for 10,000 keywords from 142 websites between November 2025 and October 2026, calibrated by topic with the follow-up check of 28 October 2026.
