AI Overview overview
See whether Google's AI Overview cites your site, your position among its sources and who else is cited.
Open AI Overview in the dashboard; the website comes from the switcher in the header. Each term is a search term or question plus an optional target page on your site.
What a run does
- Searches Google in a real browser.
- Detects the AI Overview and, when it's collapsed, expands it to read every source. It only reads the answer; nothing is changed.
- Records whether your site is cited, your position among the cited links, the total number of sources and the other cited domains.
- When you're cited, clicks your link and browses your site with your dwell settings.
Not found
Runs that don't find you say why: no AI Overview shown, or shown but your site wasn't cited. Every finished run counts towards the daily click allowance, cited or not. After 3 runs in a row without a citation, the term pauses automatically and you get a notification.
Daily clicks
SERP clicks, Local Business and AI Overview share one daily click pool per website. Plan usage shows the total and a breakdown by module. Each module has its own term limit.
Map and areas
Each run is plotted at the approximate location of the network it really used, coloured by your citation position, and grouped into areas with your average position.
