AI Overview checker
Which of your keywords show an AI Overview, and who it cites
Paste the keywords you care about and add your domain. For each one you see whether Google shows an AI Overview, every page it cites, whether your site is among them, and the other features on the first page: featured snippets, People Also Ask, videos, products and the local pack.
- Up to 100 keywords per check
- Every site each AI Overview cites
- Tracked over time in a project
$0.01 per keyword, shown before it runs. What it costs
AI Overview citations per keyword
Every keyword with its AI Overview status: cites you, shown without you, or none. Next to it, how many pages the overview links to, the other SERP features on page one with the ones you appear in marked green, and your page-one rank. Export it all as CSV.
The sites AI Overviews cite most
Across your keywords, the domains Google’s AI answers lean on, ranked by how many keywords cite them. Those are the pages to study, and the sites worth a mention. Beside it, how often each SERP feature appears and how often you are in it.
AI Overview tracking in a project
In a project, the rank tracker records the SERP features of every tracked keyword on each check, AI Overview citations included, at no extra cost. Its AI Overviews tab shows how many keywords trigger one, how many cite you, and which do not yet.

SEO glossary
What are AI Overviews?
AI Overviews are AI-generated summaries that Google shows at the top of some search results pages. A Gemini model writes a short answer to the query, drawing on pages from Google’s index, and shows links to supporting websites alongside or within the summary. They appear only for queries where Google’s systems judge a summary adds something to the classic results.
Related SEO terms
SERP features are the results on Google’s results page that are not plain blue links, such as AI Overviews, featured snippets, local packs and videos.
A featured snippet is a highlighted extract from a web page shown near the top of Google’s results to answer the query directly, with a link to the source.
People Also Ask is a Google results box of questions related to the search. Each one expands to show a short answer from a web page, with a link.
Zero-click searches are searches that end without a click to any website, because the answer is on the results page or the user gives up.
Generative engine optimization (GEO)
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of improving how often AI-generated answers mention your brand and cite your pages.
AI Overview checker FAQ
What is an AI Overview?
The AI-written answer Google shows above the results for many searches, with links to the pages it drew on. Being one of those links is the new featured snippet: visible even when nobody scrolls.
How do you know if an AI Overview cites my site?
Each AI Overview comes with its list of source pages. Your site counts as cited when any of them is on your domain or one of its subdomains.
Why does a keyword show no AI Overview today?
Google shows AI Overviews for some searches and not others, and it changes over time and by country. Checking on a schedule in a project shows the trend rather than one snapshot.
Do I need a project?
No. The SEO tools work on their own, in any market you pick. Keywords you find can be saved to a project in one click when you want to track them.
Can I share a result?
Yes. The search, the market and the open tab are all in the page address, so a link or a bookmark opens the same view. Anyone opening it runs the search with their own key; a repeat of something already looked up is served from the cache for free.
