Analysis & Audit
AI Overview Checker
Check whether a keyword triggers a Google AI Overview, which sources it cites, and whether your domain appears among them.
Informational and question-shaped queries trigger Overviews most often.
AI Overviews are not a normal SERP feature
An AI Overview cites a handful of sources and answers the query inline. Ranking first without being cited in the Overview is now a common and expensive position to be in.
Reading the result honestly
- Assistant answers vary between runs and sessions. One absence is noise; the same absence over several weeks is signal.
- Being named in prose and being citedas a linked source are different outcomes. Track them separately.
- Model updates move these numbers independently of anything you ship. Record the date of every run.
