# Google AI Overview checker: which keywords cite your site

**Use case:** 

20 personal-finance keywords on Google AI Overviews in the United States, one row each: the overview's whole text, every page it cites, the organic results beside it, and whether nerdwallet.com is among the cited pages (brand_cited, with the URLs). A keyword Google shows no overview for is a free no_answer row that keeps the organic results. Put your brand and domain in brand and brandDomain.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [ChatGPT Scraper: Perplexity, Gemini, AI Mode & AI Overview](https://apify.com/hyperbach/ai-search-answers.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/hyperbach/ai-search-answers.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
