New York, October 7, 2026. Adthena, the leader in AI search intelligence, has won Best AI Search Software Solution and Best Software Innovation at the US Search Awards 2026 for its AI Overview Dashboard.
The judges called it “an outstanding submission that addresses one of the most significant challenges facing search marketers today.”
The US Search Awards recognize the best in PPC, SEO and content marketing across the US. These wins means the AIO Dashboard has now picked up awards at every major search awards program it entered in 2026, following the European Search Awards in May, the Global Search Awards in September and the Search ‘n Stuff Awards earlier this month.
Why it matters to US advertisers
Google’s AI Overviews (AIOs) now sit above the ads on a growing share of US searches. Paid listings get pushed further down the page, and advertisers watch CTR (click-through rate) and CPC (cost per click) shift with no explanation from Google.
The AIO Dashboard gives you that explanation. Built on our patented Whole Market View™ technology, it tracks how often AIOs appear across your terms and devices, ties CTR and CPC changes directly back to them, and shows which competitors are being cited inside generative results. Your team can spot revenue risk early, well before it turns up in the monthly report.
What Adthena says
“Advertisers kept telling us their numbers were shifting and they couldn’t explain why, so that’s what we built it to solve. The AIO Dashboard connects what’s happening inside AI Overviews to real CTR and CPC changes, giving teams a clear view of what’s going on in the SERP. No one else has closed that gap, and it’s what our customers needed to act with confidence.” – Paul Felby, CTO, Adthena.
