# Google AI Overviews Begin Citing Individual Business Profile Reviews

Google appears to be expanding its AI Overview functionality to incorporate **individual reviews** from **Google Business Profiles** directly into the summaries.

It’s been noticed that Google searches like “Dr. John Smith reviews” displayed AI Overviews featuring reviews pulled directly from the doctor’s GBP reviews section.

#### **Why It Matters**

- **Trust & Engagement**: Featuring genuine user sentiment in snippets can boost credibility for prospective customers viewing your profile.

#### **What You Can Do**

- **Monitor Your Listings**: Search your business name with terms like “reviews” and check if your reviews appear in AI Overviews.
- **Prioritize Review Quality**: Encourage detailed and honest reviews to ensure the best ones are surfaced.
- **Maintain GBP Accuracy**: Regularly manage your reviews and address any issues to uphold your brand’s reputation in these summaries.
