Track AI Overviews

Google AI Overview is a generative AI feature integrated into Google Search. When a user enters a query, it provides an AI-generated summary at the top of the search results page, synthesizing information from multiple sources across the web.

Rank Tracker uses the following designations to monitor Google AI Overview results:

•  AIO Mentions block: AI-generated summary that gives a comprehensize reply to a search query and synthesizes information from different sources. It also includes links to the sources where the information has been collected from. 
•  AIO Rank block: a list of sites that are included as sources into the AI Overview result. 

Inside your project, the results will be displayed in a seprate Google AIO column which is included in all new projects by default:

To add this feature to an existing project, open the Edit Workspace menu - > find and select Google AIO column

The information is duplicated in the Google SERP Features column

Tracking Google AI Overviews is enabled in Rank Tracker by default. You can check if it's on for your Rank Tracker project by going to Preferences > Rank Checking Mode and making sure that the Track Organic Results Only box is unchecked.

How to interpret AI Overview results

Once the Google AI Rank column appears in the project, you will be able to see whether your site is mentioned in Google AI Overview results. 

A grey icon indicates the presence of Google AI overview on the results page. A green icon will mean that a link to your site was indcluded into AI Overview block.
