RANK TRACKER
Track AI Overviews
on every keyword you rank for.
On every Google check, Rank Tracker records whether an AI Overview appeared for the keyword, whether it cited you and which of your pages it used. It keeps a snapshot of the full answer too, beside the results it sat above.
The answer above you changes what a ranking means.
These come up soon after AI Overviews start appearing on your keywords.
Visits fell while the rank held
“We still rank second. Why are visits down?”
Check whether an AI Overview started appearing on that keyword, and whether it cites you or someone else.
A rival quoted in the answer
“Why does Google’s summary quote them and not us?”
See which sources the Overview cited, keyword by keyword, and whether your page was one of them.
The wording changed
“Google’s summary used to recommend us.”
The snapshot keeps the full answer from each check, so you can read what it said then and what it says now.
Recorded on every Google check, with nothing extra to set up.
If a keyword is tracked on Google, its AI Overview is recorded. There is no separate list to build.
Track your keywords
The keywords you already follow on Google are enough.

AI Overviews and your keywords.
Rank Tracker records AI Overviews on the keywords you track, beside your positions. AI Beacon tracks the prompts people put to 7 AI engines + Google AI Overview, AI Mode & Search. The two read different inputs, keywords and prompts, so they answer different questions.
No. Rank Tracker records AI Overviews on the results page. AI Mode is tracked by prompt in AI Beacon.
Yes. A snapshot of the full answer is stored with each check, back to your first check.
No. Google shows them on some searches and not others, and that can differ by country and device. Rank Tracker records what each check found.
