What is an AI Overview checker?

An AI Overview checker searches Google for your keywords and reports whether an AI Overview appears at the top of the results, which websites it cites as sources, and whether your site is one of them. It shows where AI answers are taking clicks from the organic results, and which competitors Google trusts to quote.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your site and keywords

    Up to ten keywords, one per line, and the country your customers search from.

  2. 2

    We search Google live

    Each keyword is searched live on desktop Google, as a searcher in that country sees it today.

  3. 3

    See who gets cited

    For each keyword: AI Overview or not, the cited sites, your citation and your organic position.

Questions

More free checks on the free tools page.

What is a Google AI Overview?

A generated summary Google shows above the search results for many questions. It links to the sources it draws on; those links are citations.

Why doesn’t my keyword show an AI Overview?

Google shows AI Overviews for some searches and not others, and it varies by country, device and day. Informational and question keywords trigger them most.

How do I get cited in AI Overviews?

Rank on page one, answer the question directly near the top of the page, use clear headings and structured data, and keep the page crawlable. The AEO & GEO Grader checks these for you.

Which country and device are checked?

The country you choose, in English, on desktop Google. Paid plans track desktop and mobile in any country or city.
