Share of voice
Your mentions against the competitors on the same questions — so a drop shows up as someone else's gain, not just your loss.
Mention rate in AI Overviews across 10 questions
Sample- Your brand27%
- Competitor A41%
- Competitor B18%
- Competitor C9%
Cited pages
The pages Google's AI reads while answering — yours, competitors', community threads — ranked by how often they are cited. The list your content team works from.
Most-cited pages this week
Sample- reddit.com/r/productivity/… — cited on 7 questions
- g2.com/categories/… — cited on 5 questions
- yourdomain.com/blog/best-note-taking-apps/ — cited on 4 questions
AI Overviews vs. AI Mode
The same questions on Google's two AI surfaces side by side. A brand can be named in one and missing from the other, and the cited pages often differ.
This week, 10 questions
Sample- AI Overviews name you on 3 questions
- AI Mode names you on 5 questions
- Both name you on 2 questions

Who uses an AI Overviews tracker
SEO and content teams
See which buyer questions Google's AI answers without you, and which pages it trusts instead. Tracking AI Overviews is the part of SEO a rank tracker cannot see.
Brand and product marketing
Know whether Google's AI recommends you alongside your competitors, every day, in both AI Overviews and AI Mode.
Agencies
AI Overview and AI Mode tracking for each client, with daily history to show what the content work changed.
AI Overview tracker vs. other ways to check
A ranking tells you where your link sits. Tracking AI Overviews tells you whether the answer above the links names you.

Frequently asked questions
For each buyer question you track, once a day: whether Google shows an AI Overview, whether it names your brand and where, which competitors it names, and which pages it cites — and the same for the AI Mode answer to that question. Every answer is kept, so you can see when a mention appeared or disappeared.
AI Overviews is the AI-written answer at the top of a normal Google results page. AI Mode is a separate conversational tab that answers in more depth and often cites different pages. The tracker records both for the same question, because a brand can be named in one and absent from the other.
Running the same questions in Google's AI Mode and recording whether it names and cites you. AI Mode answers are longer and draw on different pages from AI Overviews, so tracking only one surface misses half of Google's AI search.
Questions: the 'best X for Y' and comparison searches your buyers type, which are also the searches most likely to show an AI Overview. We propose them from your site; you can edit them or add your own, including your most important keywords phrased the way people search.
Yes. A rank tracker records where your URL sits among the blue links. Tracking AI Overviews means recording the AI answer above them — whether it names you and which pages it cites — which can change even when your ranking does not.
Daily on every plan. Overviews change frequently — the same search can show one today and none tomorrow — so weekly snapshots miss most of the movement.
Yes: 5 per brand on Starter, 8 on Growth and Pro, unlimited on Enterprise. Share of voice shows who is named on each question; a lost mention usually means someone else gained it, and the tracker shows who.
Yes. AI Overviews and AI Mode are two of the 8 engines MaxAEO tracks, alongside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Grok. The 7-day trial covers all 8; Starter tracks any 4, Growth any 6, and Pro and Enterprise all 8.
Plans start at the Starter price shown above, billed monthly, with a 7-day free trial and no credit card. Annual billing saves 20%. The free AI Overview checker on this page needs no account.
