Why AI Overviews matter
Google's AI Overviews appear above the traditional results for a growing share of searches, answering the query before anyone scrolls. For those searches, the overview is effectively position zero: being ranked #1 underneath it is no longer the top of the page.
An overview can mention brands, link to sources, or do both. Whether yours appears, and whether you are in it, varies query by query. Tracking it alongside your organic rankings shows you where the overview is intercepting traffic you used to win, and where being cited in it is a new way to be found.
How to check your Google AI Overviews visibility
Add your brand
Enter your website and brand name. We read your site and suggest the buyer questions worth tracking; keep, edit or replace them.
Run your first checks
Each check runs a real prompt through the engine and records mentions, positions, competitors and cited sources. The cost in credits is shown before you confirm.
Watch it weekly
Tracked prompts re-check automatically every week, building a history of your visibility and feeding a prioritised action plan.
How our AI Overview checks work
For each tracked prompt we capture the live Google results page and record whether an AI Overview appeared, whether your brand was named in it, your position among the brands it mentioned, and the sources it linked. No overview present is recorded honestly as exactly that.
Overviews and rankings, together
Presence Scout tracks your Google organic positions in the same dashboard, with SERP feature detection built in. You can see for each query whether an overview showed, what it said, and where your traditional listing stood underneath it.

Google AI Overviews visibility, answered
How do I check if my brand appears in Google AI Overviews?
Add your brand and the buyer queries you care about in Presence Scout. Each check records whether an AI Overview appeared for the query, whether you were named or cited in it, and which competitors and sources it included. AI Overview checks are included on every plan, including Free.
Do AI Overviews appear for every search?
No. Google shows them for a subset of queries, and that subset changes over time. That is part of what we track: for each of your prompts, whether an overview appeared at all, and how that changes week to week.
How do I get my site cited in an AI Overview?
Overviews link to pages Google considers strong, clear answers to the query. Our checks show which sources current overviews cite for your prompts, which tells you the format and depth Google is choosing, and the action plan prioritises the queries where you are closest to winning a citation.
How is this different from normal rank tracking?
Rank tracking tells you where your link sits in the organic results. AI Overview tracking tells you what the answer box above those results says, and whether you are part of it. Presence Scout does both, side by side, for the same keywords and prompts.
