# AI Overviews Click Recovery Loop Skill File

## When to use

Use this when your impressions are stable or rising but clicks from priority queries are falling. It is built for small teams that need to improve results without increasing publishing volume.

## Steps

1. Bucket the last 90 days of queries by intent and likely AI Overviews exposure.
2. Prioritize the high intent plus high AI Overviews exposure bucket first.
3. Pick one primary URL per important intent cluster and merge overlapping pages into it.
4. Rewrite priority pages with answer-first intros, question-based H2s, and concise lists.
5. Validate crawlability, content quality, and structured data on updated pages.
6. Re-measure CTR, assisted conversions, and rank movement by bucket after a few reporting cycles.

## Examples

Example bucket setup from the post:
- High intent + high AIO exposure
- High intent + low AIO exposure
- Low intent + high AIO exposure, plus low intent + low AIO exposure

Example rewrite checklist from the post:
- Lead with a direct answer in the first 2 to 3 sentences.
- Use question based H2s for subtopics, and add concise lists and short steps where relevant.
- Keep definitions plain and specific.
- Support with relevant structured data when appropriate.

## Notes

If high-intent and high-AIO buckets stay flat for two review cycles, merge overlap first, then rewrite intros before publishing anything new.
