AI Overview tracker

An AI Overview tracker runs your customers’ searches on Google and records whether the AI Overview names your brand, cites your site or leaves you out, and who appears instead. Slibur reads the real AI Overview every day on paid plans, and adds ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok in the same plan.

Slibur dashboard: visibility, sentiment, average position and mentions, a chart of direct and indirect mentions by brand and the competitor ranking.

What an AI Overview tracker records

Not just whether an AI Overview exists, but what it says about you. For every search and every day, Slibur keeps six things.

  • Named, and in which place

    When the AI Overview writes your brand name, that is a direct mention, with your place among the brands it lists: first, second, fourth.

  • Cited without your name

    When it links to a page of your site but never names you, Slibur logs an indirect mention. Your page still shaped the answer, so it counts towards visibility.

  • The tone

    Each brand it names is marked positive, neutral or negative from the sentence where it appears. Slibur is strict: a clear recommendation or a clear complaint, or it stays neutral.

  • Every source link

    All the pages the AI Overview links to, grouped by domain and marked as yours, a competitor’s or a third party’s, so you see which sites Google leans on.

  • Who else is in it

    The other brands in the same AI Overview, and a ranking against up to 25 competitors across all your searches.

  • The full text, every day

    Each AI Overview is stored in full and unedited, so you can go back and read exactly what Google wrote on a given day.

You're #2

For remote teams, the most recommended project management tools combine task boards, timelines and async updates:

  • Notion: docs, wikis and tasks in one workspace, popular with teams that write a lot.
  • Asana: a strong choice for planning across time zones, with timelines, workload views and goals.
  • monday.com: simple, visual boards that are quick to set up.
  • ClickUp: many views and features in a single app.

The best fit depends on team size, budget and how much you rely on written documentation.

Cited as a source

Popular choices for remote teams include Notion, monday.com and ClickUp. When you compare them, look for:

  • Shared timelines, so everyone sees deadlines across time zones.
  • Async status updates instead of daily meetings.
  • A clear owner for every task.

Most teams try two or three tools before they decide.

Two days of the same Google search in Slibur’s dashboard: named second, then only cited (example data).

When Google shows no AI Overview

Google does not show an AI Overview for every search, and the same search can get one today and none tomorrow. Slibur records those days as “no answer”, not as zero.

A missing AI Overview is not a rival beating you: Google simply showed its regular results. If those days counted as zero, your score would drop every time Google showed fewer AI Overviews, even if you appeared just as often inside them.

So Slibur leaves them out of the average, and your Google AI visibility answers one clear question: when Google shows an AI Overview for your searches, how often are you in it? In the example, that is 12 of 20, or 60%. Counting the empty days as zeros would report 40% for exactly the same presence.

It is also why a one-off check can mislead. In the same month, a single look on day 1 found you named, on day 2 an AI Overview without you and on day 4 no AI Overview at all.

  • Google AI joins your overall visibility once it has at least 3 AI Overviews in the period, the same rule as every other AI platform.

  • A prompt that never gets an AI Overview still counts on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok.

  • If a search goes weeks without one, Google may not show AI Overviews for it in your market. Keep it for the other four AIs, or swap it for another search your buyers make.

The days are still there. This is how one looks in Searches:

Google AIGoogle AI·October 15
No AI answer

Google didn't show an AI Overview for this search that day.

Example: one search, 30 days of Google

  • AI Overview names you 9
  • AI Overview only cites your site 3
  • AI Overview without you 8
  • No AI Overview that day 10

Slibur: in 12 of 20 AI Overviews60%

If missing days were zeros: 12 of 3040%

Example data. The 10 empty days say something about Google, not about your brand.

Tracking AI Overviews: how Slibur reads them

The same search a buyer types, in their market, read straight from Google’s results page.

  1. Your prompt is the Google search. Slibur searches Google for each prompt exactly as written and never adds your brand name, so you see the AI Overview of a buyer who has not heard of you yet.

  2. From your market. The search runs on Google’s desktop results, from the country and in the language of your workspace.

  3. The AI Overview on the results page. Slibur reads the AI Overview that Google returns with the results, its full text and every link in it. In your dashboard it appears as Google AI.

  4. Every day on paid plans. In the free trial, every day while you keep visiting your dashboard. A daily reading turns answers that change from one day to the next into a trend you can trust.

  5. Read like every other AI. The same reader finds brands, positions, tone and citations in AI Overviews and in the four chatbots, so Google AI sits next to them in one visibility score.

AI Overviews in 40 countries and 7 languages

The same question can get a different AI Overview, citing different sources, in another country or language. Each workspace follows one market: pick its country and its language (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan).

  • United States
  • United Kingdom
  • Mexico
  • Argentina
  • Colombia
  • Chile
  • Peru

  • Poland
  • Brazil
  • India

  • South Africa

Whether Google shows AI Overviews in a market, and for which searches, is up to Google. To follow several markets, each one needs its own workspace.

The other four AI platforms, in the same plan

Some buyers skip Google and ask a chatbot instead. All five AI platforms come with every Slibur plan, at no extra cost.

How often, on paid plans

  • ChatGPT. Read on chatgpt.com, logged out and with web search on, every day.*

  • Claude. Asked every week through its API, with live web search.

  • Perplexity. Asked every week, with its own search engine.

  • Grok. Asked every week, with live web search.

Visibility by platform puts Google AI next to the other four, so you can tell a Google-only gap from a wider one. For what to look for in any of them, read what an AI visibility tool should show you or how the ChatGPT visibility tracker works.

* On paid plans. ChatGPT is read on chatgpt.com in every country Slibur tracks except Venezuela and Puerto Rico, where it is asked weekly through its API.

What Slibur does not track: AI Mode and the Gemini app

Google answers with AI in three places. Slibur tracks the one that sits on top of the regular results.

Tracked by Slibur

AI Overviews

The AI summary Google shows at the top of its regular results for some searches, with links to its sources. Slibur reads it every day on paid plans.

Not tracked

Google AI Mode

A separate, conversational search mode where Google writes longer answers and takes follow-up questions. Slibur does not track it.

Not tracked

The Gemini app

Google’s chatbot, on its own website and apps. Its answers can differ from both of the above, and Slibur does not track it.

Which AI Overview trackers also cover AI Mode

Google coverage of 11 tools, on the plan we checked for each, as its own pricing page lists it. Slibur first, as our product; the rest in alphabetical order, each with its source and the date we checked it. Prices and prompt limits are in our comparison of GEO tools under $100 a month.

When another tool fits better

Slibur is not the right answer for everyone. Pick something else if you need one of these; tool details come from each vendor’s plan page, checked October 19, 2026.

You need AI Mode or the Gemini app

Slibur tracks neither. Ahrefs Brand Radar, Knowatoa and SE Visible list AI Mode next to AI Overviews; Otterly.AI sells AI Mode and Gemini as add-ons.

You need AI Overview impressions

Slibur reads what AI Overviews say, not how often people see them. Search Console reports your pages’ impressions in AI Overviews for free (not clicks); see what the free reports cover.

You also need classic rankings

Slibur does not track the regular results under the AI Overview. Keep your SEO rank tracker for positions; Slibur covers the answer above them.

You need mobile or city-level results

Slibur reads Google’s desktop results for one country and one language per workspace. It does not check mobile results or specific cities.

You want checks more often than daily

Slibur reads each AI Overview once a day. Rankscale lets you choose anything from hourly to monthly checks, paid with credits.

You want hundreds of daily prompts for under $100

SE Visible Basic lists 200 daily prompts on five engines, AI Overviews and AI Mode included, for $99 a month. Slibur reaches 250 prompts on Scale, at $299.

Questions about AI Overview tracking

About Slibur itself? Read the full FAQs or see every plan and price.

What is an AI Overview tracker?

A tool that runs your customers’ searches on Google on a schedule and records whether the AI Overview at the top of the results names your brand, links to your site or leaves you out, plus the other brands and sources in it. AI Overviews change from day to day, so the trend over weeks says more than a single check.

Does Slibur track Google AI Mode or Gemini?

No. Slibur tracks AI Overviews, the AI summary in Google’s regular results. Google AI Mode and the Gemini app give their own answers, and Slibur does not track them. Ahrefs Brand Radar, Knowatoa and SE Visible list AI Mode on the plans we checked on October 19, 2026.

How often does Slibur check AI Overviews?

Every day on paid plans. During the 7-day trial, on day one and then every day while you keep visiting your dashboard. Changes and alerts arrive in a weekly email on paid plans, not in real time.

Is there a free AI Overview checker?

The 7-day free trial works as one: no card, up to 10 prompts, and on day one you see whether Google’s AI Overview names or cites you, next to the answers of ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok. There is no free plan after that; paid plans start at $59 a month. The 18-point site audit has its own free page, which works without an account.

See every plan and price

How do I run an AI Overview test by hand?

Search Google in a private window for the question your customer would ask, and look at the top of the results: is there an AI Overview, does it name you, does it link to you? It is free and takes a minute, but it is one reading from your device and your location. Tomorrow the same search may cite other sources or show no AI Overview at all, which is why the trend over several days says more.

What happens when Google shows no AI Overview?

Slibur saves that day as “no answer” and leaves it out of your Google AI visibility, so the score shows how often you appear when an AI Overview is shown. The day is still listed in Searches, with a note that Google showed no AI Overview for that search.

See the 30-day example

Can I read the whole AI Overview?

Yes. Every AI Overview is stored in full and unedited, with every link it cites and the brands you follow highlighted. In Searches, filter by AI platform, prompt and period (up to the last 90 days).

Which country, language and device does it check?

The country and language of your workspace, chosen from 40 countries and 7 languages, on Google’s desktop results. A person’s own results can vary with their device, exact location and history, so read the daily trend rather than one screenshot.

Does it show clicks or traffic from AI Overviews?

No. Slibur reads what AI Overviews say, not the visits they send. Google Search Console reports how often your pages appear in AI Overviews, for free.

What the free reports cover

Can Slibur get my brand into AI Overviews?

No tool can promise that: Google decides what goes in. Slibur shows which pages each AI Overview cites and which rivals it names, suggests what to work on (for example, getting your own site cited when you are named, or reaching the sources that recommend your rivals) and runs an 18-point site audit, so you can act and see whether it moved.

Use Slibur as a free AI Overview checker for 7 days

Add your website, keep the searches your customers make and read today’s AI Overview for each one, next to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok.
