Google AI Overview tracking
Google AI Overview tracker
AI Overviews sit above the blue links for many searches, and they cite a small set of sources. AnswerTrack runs your buyers' searches on Google every day and records whether the AI Overview named your brand, where it placed you, and which pages it cited.

FAQ
What happens when Google shows no AI Overview for a query?
The check still completes and is stored as an empty answer, so a missing Overview is not counted as an error. The prompt is checked again in the next daily run.
How do I get my brand into Google's AI Overview?
Find the sources the Overview already cites for your prompts, earn a mention or listing on them, and publish pages that answer the question directly. AnswerTrack lists those sources per prompt and tracks whether the Overview starts naming you.
Is AI Overview tracking different from Google AI Mode tracking?
Yes. AI Overview is the summary shown on a regular Google results page; AI Mode is Google's separate conversational search. AnswerTrack tracks them as two engines, and you can turn each on per prompt.
Can I track AI Overviews in a specific country?
Yes. Pick the country when you add a prompt. Each prompt-and-country pair uses one prompt slot.
