AI Overview Checker
See if a Google search shows an AI Overview — and whether your site is cited as a source. One keyword, instant answer, no account needed.
What this tool checks
Google's AI Overview is the AI-generated answer that can appear above the normal search results. When it shows, it names a handful of sources — and being one of them puts your site in front of searchers before they reach the blue links. This tool runs a live Google search for your keyword and location, tells you whether an AI Overview appears, lists every source it cites, and flags whether your domain is among them.
Why AI Overview citations matter
As AI answers absorb more of the clicks that used to go to organic results, the sites quoted inside those answers keep their visibility. Tracking whether you're cited is becoming as important as tracking your rank — and unlike your rank, almost no one is watching it yet.
Common questions
A few things people ask about AI Overviews and how this check works.
Does every keyword show an AI Overview?
No. Coverage varies by topic and changes often, which is exactly why checking — and monitoring over time — matters.
Is this the same as my Google rank?
Different signal. You can rank #1 and not be cited in the AI Overview, or be cited without ranking on page one.
How fresh is the result?
It's a live check, cached briefly so repeat searches stay fast. It reflects what a fresh searcher in that location sees right now.
How do I track this continuously?
RankChecker checks AI Overview presence and your citations across all your keywords daily, with history and change alerts. The free tool is a one-time snapshot.
