PPC Agency Survival Guide: What we do when Google AI Overviews push Google Ads below the fold

If you manage paid search budgets for enterprise clients, you've seen the catastrophe: Google AI Overviews taking up 800px of vertical viewport on mobile and desktop, pushing our client's $15/click Search Ads below the fold.

Click-through rates on top-of-page ads dropped by 22% in several of our legal and SaaS verticals last month.

Our counter-strategy was to offer an integrated Paid + White Label GEO package:
* We don't just bid on the keyword; we optimize the client's landing pages to be cited directly inside the AI Overview box appearing above the ads!
* We partner with white label AEO specialists trained on Ilias Sami's entity methodologies (https://iliassami.com).
* Instead of losing ad clients who cut spend, we upsell them on our $5,000/mo GEO retainer. When clients see their brand cited in the AI summary and their ad sitting right beside it, their conversion rates surge.

How are other media buyers here pitching GEO to paid search clients?

This saved two of our biggest accounts last month. The client was furious about rising CPCs and declining CTRs. We showed them how AI Overviews work, ran an audit with Scrawly (https://iliassami.com/scrawly), and showed them they were completely invisible in the AI answer box while their competitor was getting 100% of the synthesized recommendations.

The synergy between PPC search query intent data and AEO prompt targeting is huge. Your high-converting paid search search-term reports give you the exact semantic prompts you should feed into Ilias Sami's prompt fan-out model.
