AI Overview Visibility Tracker — who Google cites, and whether it's you
Google's AI Overview answers the question above the search results, and it names its sources. If your site is not one of them, you are invisible for that keyword no matter where you rank.
This Actor checks a keyword — or a whole keyword set — and returns the domains Google cited in its AI Overview, the exact passage it quoted from each, whether your domain is among them, and your organic position for the same term. Per country.
$0.02 per keyword checked. Keywords where the fetch fails are returned as ok: false and are
never charged.
What you get per keyword
| field | meaning |
|---|---|
verdict | cited · not-cited · citations-found (no domain supplied) · no-citations-visible |
citations | every cited source: domain, URL, and quotedPassage — the sentence Google lifted |
citedDomains | the citation set at a glance, for share-of-voice across your keyword list |
citedInAiOverview | true/false for your domain |
aiOverviewCitationPosition | where you sit among the cited sources |
quotedPassage | the exact passage Google quoted from your page |
organicPosition | your classic organic rank for the same keyword |
organicResults | the organic top results, with titles |
quotedPassage is the field people come back for: it tells you which sentence on your page earned
the citation, which is the only actionable input to writing the next one.
Per country — the same keyword, different answers
AI Overviews are localised, and the difference is not cosmetic. Measured on 2026-08-16:
- US · "what is a pay per event apify actor" → cited
docs.apify.com,help.apify.com,apify.com,reddit.com - DE · "bester web scraping anbieter" → cited
trusted.de,botpress.com,thunderbit.com,reddit.com
Fifteen countries are selectable, and all fifteen were verified working on 2026-08-16. Running the single keyword "best crm software" through every one of them returned a different citation set per market:
| US | GB | CA | AU | DE | FR | ES | IT | NL | BR | IN | JP | MX | PL | SE | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sources cited | 1 | 4 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
Two markets returned no cited sources at all for that keyword — which is itself the answer, and is
reported as no-citations-visible rather than dressed up. If you sell in more than one market,
checking only the US tells you about one of them.
What this Actor does NOT do — stated plainly
- It does not return the AI Overview prose. Google generates the overview text asynchronously after the page loads; the citations are server-rendered, the paragraph is not. We return what can be read reliably rather than a paragraph that is sometimes missing and sometimes stale.
no-citations-visibleis not proof no AI Overview exists. It means Google served no server-rendered citations for that query. It is an honest "we could not see one", not a claim. It is still charged, because it costs the same fetch and "this keyword doesn't surface cited sources" is a real planning answer — but it is never dressed up as more than it is.- It is not a SERP scraper. Organic results are included because they come free with the same fetch, capped at 20. If you need deep SERP data, buy a SERP scraper.
Batch use
Put your whole keyword set in Keywords (batch), set Your domain, and one run gives you a
visibility table across the set. maxKeywords caps the run and therefore caps your spend.
How the data is obtained
Searches are run through Apify's own Google SERP proxy, the paid product Apify provides for this purpose — not through private scraping infrastructure. Each check is one search for one keyword you explicitly asked for; there is no background crawling.
Your results are yours. Everything this Actor produces is written to your run's dataset. We do not retain, aggregate, or resell the search data it returns, and we do not build a database from your keywords.
This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Google.
Pricing
| event | price | when |
|---|---|---|
keyword-checked | $0.02 | one keyword resolved in one country |
Six further events (country-extra, ai-mode-checked, competitor-tracked,
serp-organic-captured, cited-page-fetched, report-generated) are declared in the pricing record
but not charged by this build. They are reserved so planned features can ship without a pricing
change; an event that is not charged never fires and never appears on your bill.
Comparable visibility trackers on the store charge $0.05 per prompt check, and one charges $2.00 per run to start. Raw SERP dumpers charge less — they sell a different thing.
