The AI Overview Checker tells you whether Google shows an AI Overview for a keyword. It lists every source the AI Overview cites, in the order Google shows them. Add your domain and the checker tells you whether your site is cited and at which position.
Every check runs a live Google search through our SERP data provider. Nothing is estimated or simulated. When Google shows regular results only, the checker says so. Pick a country to see the AI Overview that searchers there get, because the cited sources often differ from one market to the next.
AI Overviews change often. Google can cite different pages from one week to the next, and some searches show an AI Overview only part of the time. Run the check again after you update a page. To follow a keyword over time, track it in Rankwise.

An AI Overview checker is a tool that tells you whether Google shows an AI Overview for a search. It also lists the sources that the AI Overview cites. This checker also tells you whether your domain is among those sources and at which position.
Yes. You can check keywords without an account. Each keyword and country is checked live at most once a day, and we save the result for 24 hours, so a repeat check is instant. To keep the tool free for everyone, each visitor can run 20 new checks per hour.
Each check runs a live Google search through a SERP data provider. We read the AI Overview block from the results and list its cited sources exactly as Google returns them. We never estimate or simulate a result.
Google lists the cited sources of an AI Overview in a fixed order. The checker numbers them from 1. If a cited page sits on your domain or one of its subdomains, the checker shows the position of your first cited page.
Google personalizes AI Overviews by location, language, device and search history. It also tests different answers over time. The checker runs a clean desktop search in the country you pick, so it shows what a typical searcher there sees.
Answer the search directly near the top of the page. Use headings that match the question, and keep your facts current. Google can only cite pages that it can crawl and index. Our AI Overviews Readiness tool scores a page on these signals.
Check your most important keywords every week. On competitive searches, the cited sources can change within days. Rankwise tracks your keywords over time and shows when you gain or lose a citation.
