Google AI Overview Tracker (text, cited sources, your domain)

Check which of your keywords trigger a Google AI Overview, read what it says, see every source it cites, and find out whether your own site is one of them. Up to 1,000 keywords per run, in 49 countries, desktop or mobile.

Price: US$0.002 per keyword, plus a US$0.003 run fee. 100 keywords cost US$0.203.

What people use it for

• AI search visibility (GEO and AEO): track how often Google's AI Overview cites your domain, and at which position.
• Lost traffic diagnosis: find the keywords where an AI Overview now sits above your organic result.
• Competitor citations: see which domains Google's AI trusts in your niche.
• Content planning: read the AI Overview text to see what Google thinks the answer is, then write something better.
• Reporting: schedule weekly runs and chart citation share over time.

The sample run had no targetDomain. With one set, each item also gets targetDomain, targetCited, targetCitationPositions and targetOrganicRank. targetCitationPositions lists where your domain appears in the AI Overview's sources (1 = first). targetOrganicRank is your best position in the top 10 organic results, or null. Subdomains count, so blog.example.com matches example.com.

Input

Field	What it does	Default
keywords	One search query per line, up to 1,000.	3 sample queries
targetDomain	Optional. Your domain, such as example.com. Adds the four target... fields.	empty

Pricing

Event	Price
Run fee, once per run	US$0.003
Keyword checked	US$0.002

Examples: 10 keywords cost US$0.023. 100 keywords cost US$0.203. 1,000 keywords cost US$2.003. You pay the same whether or not an AI Overview appears, because finding out is the check. Failed checks are not charged.

Limits

• 1,000 keywords per run.
• Results usually take 1 to 3 minutes, because searches go through a queue that keeps the price low.
• Free Apify plan: the first 3 keywords per run.
• Google shows AI Overviews for some queries and not others, and this changes from day to day. One run is a snapshot.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? Live Google results collected by DataForSEO, with the AI Overview loaded in full.

Why is aiOverviewPresent false for a keyword I saw one on? AI Overviews vary by country, device, language and time. Check that these match what you tested by hand.

Does it track ChatGPT or Perplexity? No, only Google's AI Overview.

Can an AI agent call it? Yes. Compact JSON, stable field names, pay-per-event pricing, and it works with Apify's MCP server.
