In short

Gemini visibility is how often Google's Gemini assistant names or cites your business. Gemini grounds many answers in Google Search, so it depends on the same index, entity and local data as Google, plus a robots.txt choice called Google-Extended that controls some Gemini uses of your content without affecting Search.

Why it matters now

Because Gemini leans on Google's index and knowledge graph, strong Google SEO and a consistent Google Business Profile carry directly into Gemini answers. Blocking the wrong control can quietly remove you from some of them.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does blocking Google-Extended remove us from Google Search?

No. Google states that Google-Extended does not affect inclusion or ranking in Google Search, including AI Overviews. It controls whether content is used for some Gemini model and grounding purposes.

Is Gemini visibility the same as ranking on Google?

They are closely related but not identical. Gemini can phrase recommendations differently and weigh entity and review data heavily, so we test it separately.
