🔍 Google AI Overview Scraper

Google's AI Overview shows up at the top of search results for a huge range of queries now, summarizing whatever it can pull together from across the web. This scraper sends your search queries to Google, grabs that AI Overview answer, and hands it back to you clean and ready to use. You get the full text of the answer every time, and if what you're after happens to be a contact detail, it'll also go ahead and pull out any emails, phone numbers, and links it finds inside the answer for you.

🎯 What you can use this for

• Pulling the raw AI Overview text for any query, for research, monitoring, content, or just seeing what Google is telling people about a topic
• Building a lead list for outreach, where you already have a company or a person's name and just need the email or phone number
• Enriching an existing CRM or spreadsheet that has names and companies but is missing contact info
• Sourcing candidates for recruiting, when you need a way to reach a hiring manager or a specific person at a company
• Quick due diligence, checking whether a business or organization has a public, current contact listed anywhere
• Journalists or researchers who need a fast way to find a public contact for a comment or follow-up
• Tracking how Google's AI Overview answers change over time for the same query

⚙️ How it works

You give it a list of search queries, the same way you'd type them into Google. Something like:

Acme Corp CFO email
John Smith CTO Acme Corp phone
Some Bank <Person Name> phone and email
Spacex Elon Musk phone and email

The scraper runs each query and gives you back the full AI Overview answer as plain text, every time. On top of that, you can optionally turn on extraction for:

• Emails - found and deduplicated, so you don't get the same address twice even if it's mentioned more than once
• Phone numbers - matched against US phone formats, with a best guess at whether it's a phone or a fax line based on the words around it
• Links - website URLs mentioned in the answer, including ones written without "https://" in front

Turn any of these off if you just want the raw answer text and plan to do your own thing with it.

❓ FAQ

Does this need an AI Overview to already be showing on Google for that query? Yes. If Google doesn't generate an AI Overview for a particular query, that query comes back empty, since there's nothing to grab.

Will it always find an email or phone number? No, only if the AI Overview actually mentions one. This tool reads what's already publicly surfaced by Google, it doesn't go dig through a website on its own.

Can I search in a language other than English? Yes, pick your language and country in the input settings and Google will respond in that language where possible.

Is this accurate? It's only as accurate as what Google's AI Overview says. AI-generated summaries can occasionally be outdated or wrong, so it's worth spot-checking anything important before you rely on it.

Is this legal? This tool extracts publicly available information that Google itself already surfaces to any regular search user. You're responsible for complying with applicable data protection laws for your specific use case.

💳 Pricing

Pay-per-result. You're charged for results actually delivered, not for queries that come back empty.
