Diagnose AI Overview Click Loss

The problem
Clicks fell. An AI Overview appeared. That still does not prove cause.
A ranking loss, demand shift, or changed query mix can produce the same pattern. Rewrite too soon and you may spend an editorial cycle fixing the wrong problem.
The decision
Check the overlap before you change the page.
Compare two Search Console periods, test the affected queries for repeated AI Overview exposure, and preserve the strongest alternative explanation. Then improve the page, fix the other issue first, or measure before editing.
The method
Six moves from click loss to action
Confirm the measured change, test the AI explanation, establish the page gap, choose the evidence-fit route, write the handoff, and review the composed brief.
What you leave with
An AI Overview Click-Loss Brief
Leave with the evidence, attribution call, next action, owner, and review condition for one page.
