Google AI Mode & AI Overview Tracker

See what Google's AI says when people search for your category, and whether it mentions or cites your brand.

For each search query and country, this Actor returns:

• the AI Overview answer shown at the top of Google results
• the AI Mode answer (Google's chat-style AI search)
• the sources Google cites, with real URLs
• for each brand you list: is it mentioned, how often, in what order, and is its website cited

You pay only for answers delivered. If Google shows no AI answer, or a search fails, it's free.

Use cases

• AI search visibility (GEO / AEO): track whether Google's AI recommends you or your competitors for the queries that matter.
• Share of voice: run the same queries every week and chart how often each brand is mentioned and cited.
• Content and SEO: find which pages Google's AI cites, so you know which sources to get into.
• Research: collect AI answers at scale in several countries and languages.

Input

Search queries	What people would ask Google, one per line.
Brands to track	One brand per line: name, other spellings, website. Example: Zoho CRM, Zoho, zoho.com.
Answer types	AI Overview, AI Mode, or both. Each answer is charged separately.
Countries	Two-letter codes such as US, GB, DE. Each query runs once per country.

• status: ok (charged), noAnswer (Google showed no AI answer, free) or error (blocked after all retries, free).

• cited: one of the brand's websites is among the sources.

Good to know

• AI answers change from one search to the next. For tracking, run the same queries on a schedule and compare trends, not single answers.
• Countries: results are requested for the country you choose, but from US-based IPs. Answers are close to what local users see, not always identical.
• Not every query gets an AI Overview, especially outside the US. AI Mode always answers.
• Typical speed: about 20-40 seconds per query with both answer types, several queries in parallel.
