  1. investigating Aug 05, 2025, 07:59 PM UTC

    We're currently investigating an issue where requests to Google Search that include both include_ai_overview=true and ads_optimized=true fail to return AI Overview content, even though each parameter functions correctly when used on its own. Our engineering team is actively working to identify the root cause and implement a fix. We'll share updates as soon as we have more information.
