Google is expanding AI Overview's reach into the Southeast Asian market, including Indonesia, following penetration that in more mature markets like the US has already reached 48-60% of all searches, depending on the tracking methodology used.
Why this matters for local brands
Many Indonesian brands have long treated AI search as an overseas-market issue that didn't apply to them yet. This rollout makes AI Overview a real part of everyday Indonesian search journeys — no longer just a ChatGPT story, but a Google search-results story too.
Organic CTR could face a similar drop
In markets that got the full rollout earlier, organic CTR fell by as much as 61% once AI Overview appeared in search results. Brands that have long relied on pure organic Google traffic need to start preparing for a similar pattern in Indonesia.

Make sure brand information is available in a structured format (schema markup), stays consistent across many sources beyond the brand's own website, and start measuring how often the brand is mentioned inside AI Overview — not just tracking organic ranking position as usual.
