Google AI Overview Scraper & GEO Citation Tracker

Get the AI Overview Google shows at the top of the results for any search: the full answer text, its structure (headings, paragraphs, lists), and every source it cites, for any country and language. Optionally includes the first page of organic results and the "People also ask" questions, at no extra cost.

No Google account, API key or proxy setup needed. $5 per 1,000 queries, charged per query whether or not Google showed an AI Overview for it. Add your domains and each row says whether Google's AI cites you.

What you can do with it

• Brand monitoring: check what Google's AI says about your brand, products or competitors, in each market.
• SEO research: compare AI Overview sources with organic rankings, and find which queries trigger an AI Overview at all.
• Content research: collect the answers and sources Google's AI picks for a topic.

Output

One row per query:

{
  "query": "how to lower cholesterol naturally",
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en",
  "hasAiOverview": true,
  "aiOverview": {
    "text": "To lower cholesterol naturally, focus on diet, exercise and habits. ...",
    "markdown": "To lower cholesterol naturally, ...\n\n### Diet\n\n- Eat more soluble fiber: oats, beans and apples.",
    "blocks": [
      { "type": "paragraph", "text": "To lower cholesterol naturally, ..." },
      { "type": "heading", "text": "Diet" },
      { "type": "list", "items": ["Eat more soluble fiber: oats, beans and apples."] }
    ],
    "sources": [
      { "position": 1, "title": "Top 5 lifestyle changes to improve your cholesterol", "url": "https://www.mayoclinic.org/...", "domain": "mayoclinic.org", "siteName": "Mayo Clinic", "snippet": null }
    ]
  },
  "trackedDomains": [
    { "domain": "mayoclinic.org", "citedInAiOverview": true, "aiOverviewPositions": [1], "mentionedInAiOverviewText": false, "organicPosition": 2 }
  ],
  "organicResults": [
    { "position": 1, "title": "Top 5 lifestyle changes to improve your cholesterol", "url": null, "link": "https://www.google.com/goto?url=...", "domain": "mayoclinic.org", "displayedUrl": "https://www.mayoclinic.org › ... › High cholesterol", "snippet": "1. Eat heart-healthy foods · Cut back on saturated fats..." }
  ],
  "relatedQuestions": ["What is the fastest way to lower cholesterol?"],
  "searchUrl": "https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+lower+cholesterol+naturally&hl=en&gl=us&pws=0",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-11-02T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Cited sources come with their real destination URLs. For organic results Google now hides the destination behind a redirect, so url is often null; domain and displayedUrl still say which site it is, and link opens the result.

aiOverview is null when Google shows no AI Overview for the query (for example navigational searches like "facebook login"). Google decides per query, country and language, and the same query can show one today and not tomorrow.

Pricing

US$ 5 per 1,000 queries (US$ 0.005 per query), charged once per query that returns a results page, with or without an AI Overview. Organic results, People also ask and domain tracking are included. Queries Google blocks after all retries are not charged. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options to cap spending.

Tips

• Results pages are fetched through Apify's Google SERP proxy, so you don't need to set up any proxy.
• The AI Overview is personalised by country and language, so set both to match the market you care about.
• Schedule the Actor daily or weekly to track how answers and cited sources change.
• If something looks wrong, run once with Save page snapshots on and open an issue: the HTML in the key-value store shows exactly what Google returned.

FAQ

How do I check if my site is cited in Google AI Overviews? Add your queries and your domain in Domains to track. Each row has citedInAiOverview, the citation positions and whether your brand is mentioned in the answer text.

Is there a Google AI Overview API? Google doesn't offer one. This Actor works as one: call it through the Apify API, schedule it, or connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier or an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

Which queries trigger an AI Overview? Run your keyword list and filter by hasAiOverview. Queries without one cost the same, so you can map coverage across a whole keyword set.

Does it work outside the US? Yes. Set the country and language, for example BR + pt-BR or DE + de. AI Overviews vary a lot by market.

Can I track changes over time? Yes. Save the input as a task and schedule it daily or weekly. Each run is a dated dataset you can compare.

What is GEO / AEO? Generative Engine Optimization and Answer Engine Optimization: getting your content cited in AI-generated answers. This Actor measures it for Google's AI Overviews.
