London, July 2, 2026 – Adthena, the leader in AI search intelligence, has been shortlisted at the Global Search Awards 2026 for its AI Overview Dashboard in the following categories:
- Best Software Innovation
- Best AI Search Software Solution
- Best Global Search Software Tool
The nomination comes just weeks after the AIO Dashboard won double at the European Search Awards 2026, where judges called it “a critical, market-first solution for the ‘Black Box’ era of AIOs.”
The Global Search Awards celebrate the best in PPC, SEO, and content marketing worldwide, with entries from digital experts across 195 countries. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on September 23, 2026.
What Google won’t show you
Google’s AI Overviews (AIOs) have changed how buyers find brands. As generative summaries intercept attention at the top of the page, ads get pushed down, clicks drop, and revenue shifts. Google provides no visibility into why.
The AIO Dashboard is the independent answer. It attributes CTR (click-through rate) and CPC (cost per click) changes to AIOs, shows which competitors are cited in generative results, and forecasts the revenue risk of AI-driven SERP disruption. Search teams stop guessing and start acting on what is actually happening on the results page.
Recognition across three continents
This shortlist adds to a run of industry recognition for Adthena’s AI search products over the past year, including wins at the European Search Awards 2026 for the AIO Dashboard and at the APAC and UK Search Awards for Ask Arlo, our agentic AI analyst.
“AIOs have been the single biggest change to Google’s SERP in years, and potentially ever. Google provides no insight into how often they appear, when ads show up in them, which brands are cited, or how they impact clicks on every other part of the SERP. Our AI Overview Dashboard answers all of that. No other software comes close.” — Phillip Thune, CEO, Adthena
