What it does

Scans Google AI Overview for your target keywords and shows which sources are cited, which formats are used and what you need to do to get included in the AI-generated summaries displayed at the top of search results.

Google AI Overview is taking over the top of search results — and you do not know if you are included or excluded

Google AI Overview (formerly SGE) shows an AI-generated summary at the top of search results for an increasing number of keywords. This summary takes up most of the screen space and gets the majority of clicks. If you are not cited in this summary, you lose traffic — even if you rank on the first page. The problem is that you do not know which of your keywords trigger AI Overview, which sources are cited, or what you can do to get included.

Invisible traffic loss — you can lose 30-60% of clicks on keywords where AI Overview appears, without seeing it in regular ranking tools
Unknown criteria — Google has not published clear guidelines for what is required to be cited in AI Overview, so most people guess
Dynamic content — AI Overview content changes often and can vary between users, making it difficult to monitor manually
Competitor advantage — your competitors may already be cited in AI Overview for your most important keywords without you knowing

Why use AI Overview?

AI Overview is the new first page. In a world where Google shows AI-generated summaries at the top of search results, it is no longer enough to rank on the first page. You must be included in AI Overview to get your rightful share of traffic. This tool gives you the insight you need to get there.

Data beats guessing. Most SEO teams guess at what is required to be included in AI Overview. This tool gives you actual data — which sources are cited, which formats are preferred and what competitors do — so you can make informed decisions instead of trial and error.

Early advantage. AI Overview is still relatively new, and many competitors have not started optimizing for it yet. By starting now you get an advantage that becomes harder to catch up on the longer competitors wait.
