What Google AI Overviews Cite (And What They Ignore)
Google AI Overviews cite a handful of URLs, or none you own. Log the cited set; do not guess from the generated paragraph.
Citations are the unit
The generated text is not the KPI. The cited URLs are. If your brand is mentioned without a citation, you still do not own the click.
OverviewTracker stores the cited domain list per query so you can see who Google trusted instead.
Re-check after you publish
New pages need time. Re-run the same URL+query pair after you update the H1, FAQ, and internal links.
FAQ
What is an AI Overview tracker?
An AI Overview tracker checks whether Google's AI Overviews cite your page for a given query. OverviewTracker is built for that one job: URL + query in, citation coverage out.
How do I track Google AI Overviews for my site?
Sign in, add a URL and the queries you care about, and run a check. The free plan lets you test a few URL+query pairs per day. Pro recrawls daily and emails you if coverage changes.
