The challenge

Why AIOs need their own tracker

The gaps stopping SEO teams from seeing AIO presence and cited URLs.

AI Overviews are eating organic clicks

When Google answers in the SERP, clicks to underlying URLs drop. You need to know which queries trigger AIOs to make informed publishing decisions.

Cited URLs inside AIOs are hard to extract

Without an instrumented detector, identifying which competitor pages Google cites inside an AI Overview requires manual SERP scraping.

AIO presence changes silently

An AIO can appear or disappear for a query without warning. Without change tracking, the shift goes unnoticed.

The solution

How AIO tracking works

Historical search data detection plus cited URL capture plus change tracking.

Live AIO trigger detection

Every tracked keyword is checked for AI Overview presence via the historical search data endpoint that captures real-time SERP feature flags.

Cited URL capture

Pull the exact URLs Google cites inside each AI Overview, including positioning inside the overview text.

Change tracking over time

Snapshot the cited set per AIO so you can see when a URL drops out or a new one appears.
