Google AI Overview Checker & Analyzer Tool
See instantly whether your keywords trigger a Google AI Overview in any country. Inspect live AI Overview summaries, cited websites, and GEO optimization gaps—simple, accurate, and free.
Google AI Overviews place an AI-generated summary at the very top of the results page, above the traditional organic listings. For many informational and comparison queries, searchers now read the answer without scrolling, which means the handful of websites cited inside the Overview capture most of the attention and trust.
If your brand is ranked on page one but not cited in the Overview, you can lose clicks to competitors even while your rankings look stable. Knowing which keywords trigger an AI Overview, and who gets cited, is now a core part of SEO and GEO reporting.

A single Google AI Overview check is a snapshot of one engine. Your buyers also ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode, and each engine cites different sources. A brand can be prominent in AI Overviews and absent from ChatGPT.
NEXAEO's Generative Search Monitor tracks mentions, citations and share of voice across all 5 engines over time, so you can see where you win, where competitors win, and which content to create next.
AI Overviews appear most often for informational, how-to, comparison and multi-part questions, where a synthesized answer helps the searcher. They appear less often for navigational searches (a specific brand or login page), many transactional and local queries, very fresh news, and some sensitive topics.
Availability also varies by country, language and over time, so a keyword that shows no Overview today may show one later. Re-check important keywords regularly.
| Google AI Overviews | Google AI Mode | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it appears | Top of the normal results page | Separate conversational AI tab |
| Answer length | Short summary | Longer, multi-step answer |
| Follow-ups | No | Yes, conversational |
| Sources cited | A small set of links | Often a broader set of sources |
Optimizing for both starts with the same foundation: clear answers, structured content and trusted corroboration. Use our Google AI Mode Checker to compare.
