Question 1

What is an AI Overview tracker?

Accepted Answer

An AI Overview tracker checks whether Google's AI Overviews cite your page for a given query. OverviewTracker is built for that one job: URL + query in, citation coverage out.

Question 2

How do I track Google AI Overviews for my site?

Accepted Answer

Sign in, add a URL and the queries you care about, and run a check. The free plan lets you test a few URL+query pairs per day. Pro recrawls daily and emails you if coverage changes.

Question 3

Is there a free AI Overview tracker?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OverviewTracker Basic is free: a handful of checks, email optional, 7-day history. No credit card to try the checker.

Question 4

How is this different from Otterly, ZipTie, or LLMrefs?

Accepted Answer

Those tools track many AI engines and sell GEO programs. We only track Google AI Overviews citations for URLs you already publish. If you want ChatGPT share-of-voice, use them. If you typed 'ai overview tracker' into Google, this is the tool.

Question 5

Do you need Search Console access?

Accepted Answer

Not for the free checker. Pro can optionally import queries from a CSV or GSC export. We never post to your site.

Question 6

What happens after I sign up?

Accepted Answer

You land on a waitlist dashboard. We are onboarding tracked-query slots in order. You will get an email when your checker is live. Google sign-in is how we save your domain and queries.
