What is Google’s SGE?
Search Generative Experience (SGE) is developed by Google, and it uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate answers to questions. SGE uses AI in three ways to enhance the user’s experience. It includes AI snapshots, vertical experiences, and conversational mode.
What is Google’s SGE used for?
SGE can be used in three different ways, such as AI snapshots. It is used to generate a summary for longer content and queries. Conversational mode is used to answer follow-up questions and it still retains the context of the original search question. And lastly, vertical experiences provide the user with a preferred list of features and additional product details in commercial searches.
What does the new Google SGE look like?
Vertical experience is shown above. You can use the conversational mode by clicking the converse button at the top left corner.
How can you sign up for Google’s SGE?
Currently, SGE is not open to the public and requires you to sign up for Google’s Search Labs. However, Search Labs is only available to a limited number of people, and it is only available in English and in the US. There is a waiting list you are able to join.

SGE (Search Generative Experience) is evolving. Google have now added links to websites that are the source of the generated text.
Users click twice, once on the quote, and a second time to open the website.
This is a positive move from an SEO / organic traffic point of view as this will result in more organic traffic to your website if you are quoted in the SGE result.
However, it’s still early days on the testing on this, some screenshots like ours above show a “quote” mark, while others show the domain name with an external link icon.
