FAQ

What is a Google AI Overview?
An AI-generated summary Google shows above the regular results for some searches. It answers the query in a few sentences and links to the sources it drew from. Being one of those sources sends visibility and clicks to your site.
Is this checker free?
Yes. You can run 5 checks a day without signing up. Each check fetches the live Google results page for your keyword, country and device.
Can I check mobile results and other countries?
Yes. Choose desktop or mobile and one of 31 countries. AI Overviews often differ between devices and countries, so check the combination your customers use.
Why does the AI Overview change between checks?
Google generates AI Overviews dynamically. Whether one appears, what it says and which sources it cites can change from day to day, which is why teams track them daily rather than checking once.
How do I track AI Overviews for many keywords automatically?
Use the CrawlerData Google Search API: every request returns the AI Overview text and its cited sources in the ai_overview field, at 1 credit per request. Our free n8n template posts a daily AI Overview report to Slack.
