What your AI Overview Checker results will show you
AI Overviews have undoubtedly impacted businesses, but to what degree is it impacting yours? The AI Overview Checker will show you two key metrics:
- Percentage of keywords that have an AI Overview: You’ll see how many keywords, out of 100, have an AI Overview showing up in search results.
- Traffic lost to AI Overviews: This metric range will show you how much traffic you’re losing because of AI Overviews being present and driving clickless behavior.
Our AI Overview visibility tracker analyzes the top 100 keywords for your website and identifies which keywords have an AI Overview present. You can see what types of keywords are populating an AI Overview vs. ones that aren’t.
If one of your keywords indicates there’s an AI Overview present, you can click the “View AI Overview” button (you get 5 checks a day!) to get a complete rankings coverage analysis. It will include things like:
- How many of the top 20 organic ranking pages are cited in the AI Overview
- What the AI Overview looks like and the sources cited in it
- Corresponding organic results for the query

What are AI Overviews and how do they work?
AI Overviews are quick summaries made by Google’s AI that appear at the top of your search results. Instead of just showing links, the AI pulls key information from several trusted websites and combines it into a single, convenient answer.
For a complete breakdown, see our main guide on what AI Overviews are.
-
How can I get my website to appear in an AI Overview?
To appear in AI Overviews, focus on two key things. First, Google must see your site as a trusted expert on the topic. Second, your content needs to provide clear, direct answers in a simple format —like lists or short paragraphs— that the AI can easily quote.
Get our complete, data-backed methodology by reading our guide on How to Optimize for AI Overviews.
-
Why isn’t my site in the AI Overview even if I rank #1 organically?
AI Overviews don’t automatically feature the #1 ranked page. Instead, the AI searches for the clearest and most direct answer it can find. This means it might choose a competitor’s page if it has a simple paragraph or bulleted list that’s easier to quote. Our AI Overview Checker shows you exactly who was featured and what format they used.
For a deeper dive into the technical and quality factors at play, read our full guide on why you might be missing from AI Overviews.

Why don’t all my keywords show AI Overviews?
Not every keyword is impacted by AI Overviews. Some keywords, especially ones that are more BOFU-geared, don’t have AI Overviews.
