UNDER THE HOOD
How the AI Overviews tracker fits together.
How the numbers are produced, so you can judge them for yourself.
Presence from rank tracking
Every tracked keyword records whether its result showed an AI Overview, on desktop and mobile, at each check.
Answers from Prompt Tracking
Adding Google AI Overviews as an engine saves the AI Overview’s text and links for exact questions, so mentions and citations can be counted.
Brands from lookup
Brand lookup reads a sample of AI Overview and ChatGPT answers that mention a brand or domain, with the pages cited alongside.
Organic position alongside
Because presence comes from rank tracking, you can see your organic position below the AI Overview for the same keyword.

FAQ
AI Overviews tracker: common questions.
Straight answers about what it does, what it costs and where its limits are.
How do I know if a keyword triggers an AI Overview?
Rank tracking marks SERP features for every tracked keyword, including AI Overviews, on desktop and mobile.
Can I see if the AI Overview cites my site?
Yes. Add Google AI Overviews to Prompt Tracking: each saved answer records whether your brand is mentioned and whether your site is linked.
Does it track other AI engines too?
Yes. The same questions can be tracked in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity for comparison.
Does AI Overview tracking cost credits?
Yes. Checks are paid collections, and the cost is estimated before a check or schedule starts.
Is this a separate product?
No. It brings together AI Overview flags in rank tracking, AI Overviews as a Prompt Tracking engine and brand lookup, in the same project.
Can I track AI Overviews by city?
AI Overview presence follows the rank tracker’s location, including supported cities.
Can my agent read AI Overview results?
Yes. Agents can read tracker results, saved answers and sources through MCP.
Can I see which sites Google cites instead of me?
Yes. Saved AI Overview answers keep their sources, grouped by domain.
What are the limits of the data?
AI Overviews vary by query, location, device and time, and do not appear for every search. A missing mention in a check is not proof Google never shows you. Tracking checks are paid collections with costs shown before they start.
