## Definition

Gemini is Google's family of large language models powering Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, and the Gemini AI assistant. As Google's primary AI search infrastructure, Gemini determines what content appears in AI Overviews and how brands are characterized in Google's AI-generated responses.

## Why It Matters for AI Search

Gemini is the AI layer on top of the world's largest search engine. A brand's representation in Gemini-powered AI Overviews reaches the broadest possible audience. Optimizing for Gemini requires the same foundations as traditional Google SEO — strong E-E-A-T signals, structured data, authoritative backlinks — plus the AI-specific additions of [entity clarity](https://www.platelunchcollective.com/services/entity-seo), content extractability, and factual density.
