Google AI Overviews tracker
A Google AI Overviews tracker shows whether your brand appears in the AI summary Google places above its search results. Google offers no public API for AI Overviews, so Discoverable reads the public search page itself and records the exact pages the summary cites. It counts in your weighted visibility score, and carries the highest weight of the seven engines we measure because of its published reach.
Google AI Overviews appear above traditional results for a growing share of queries.
Does Google show an AI Overview for a buyer search in the UK or US, and which pages does it cite? One reading, free.
Check a search nowHow Google AI Overviews visibility tracking works
AI Overviews and AI Mode increasingly answer queries before the classic results, so appearing in them matters. Google provides no public API for either, so the only way to read one is to read the public search page, and what that returns is the logged-out result for a query at a given locale rather than any one person's own result. Discoverable collects AI Overview, records which pages it cites, and counts it in your weighted visibility score; every reading is labelled with the surface it was collected from. Google renders no overview at all for some queries, which is a finding about the query and is reported as coverage rather than as a zero.

An AI Overview tracker without an API
Google offers no public API for AI Overviews at any price, so every AI Overview tracker on the market reads the public search page, whether it says so or not. Discoverable says so. It runs your buyer questions against Google Search on a schedule and records three things per query: whether an AI Overview rendered at all, whether the summary names your brand, and which pages it cites. Each reading is the logged-out overview for that query at a given locale, and your report labels every reading with the surface it came from.
What Google AI Overviews tracking measures
Three numbers matter when you track AI Overviews. Coverage: Google does not render an overview for every query, and a missing overview is reported as coverage, never as a zero score. Presence: whether the overview names you, and where you sit among the brands it names. Citations: the specific pages the overview leans on. AI Overviews tracking is mostly a citations game, because the summary is assembled from a small set of cited sources; when it recommends competitors, the shortest route in is usually earning a mention on one of the exact pages it already cites, and the report lists them.
Where AI Overviews sit in your score
AI Overviews carries the highest weight of the seven engines Discoverable measures, reflecting its published reach; the weights and their sources are set out on our methodology page. Readings land on the same trend as every other engine, so movement in the overview sits next to movement in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and AI Mode rather than in a separate report you have to reconcile yourself.
Google AI Overviews visibility: questions
How do I track my visibility in Google AI Overviews?
AI Overviews and AI Mode increasingly answer queries before the classic results, so appearing in them matters. Google provides no public API for either, so the only way to read one is to read the public search page, and what that returns is the logged-out result for a query at a given locale rather than any one person's own result. Discoverable collects AI Overview, records which pages it cites, and counts it in your weighted visibility score; every reading is labelled with the surface it was collected from. Google renders no overview at all for some queries, which is a finding about the query and is reported as coverage rather than as a zero.
Is there an AI Overview tracker with an API?
No. Google has never offered a public API for AI Overviews, so any AI Overview tracker is reading the public search page. Discoverable does that openly: every reading is labelled as the logged-out result for the query at a given locale, and the methodology page explains the whole approach.
How do I track AI Overviews for my brand?
