Free tools / AI Overview checker
Free AI Overview checker. See which pages Google's answer cites.
Type one keyword. The free AI Overview checker tells you whether Google shows an AI Overview for it, lists the pages the overview cites, and gives the organic rank of each cited page that is also in the top 10. No account, no keys.
Free, with a daily limit per network. SerpDad pays for the checks.
Try it. Check one keyword now.
The checker runs in the SerpDad app and needs no sign-up. You get the yes or no straight away, plus the first 3 cited pages. The full list of citations asks for your email.
Yes, with citations
Google shows an AI Overview. You see each cited page, and its organic rank when it is also in the top 10.
No AI Overview
Google shows no AI Overview for this keyword today. The top 10 is the whole first page.
Overview loads later
Google loads the overview after the page and sends no citations. The checker says so, instead of showing an empty list.
How to read it. Cited and ranking are two different things.
A page can rank #2 and not be cited. A page outside the top 10 can be cited. The checker puts both facts side by side so you can see the gap.
Cited and ranking
Your page is in the answer and on the first page. Keep it accurate and up to date.
Ranking, not cited
Your page is on the first page, but the answer quotes others. Open the cited pages and compare what they cover.
Cited, not ranking
Google quotes a page that is not in the top 10. Forums, videos and docs often show up here.
The method. What the AI Overview checker does, in plain English.
Fetch the live results
SerpDad asks DataForSEO for the Google US results for your keyword, on SerpDad's own account.
Read the AI Overview
If the results include an AI Overview, the checker lists the pages it cites. If Google sent the overview without citations, it tells you.
Match citations to the top 10
Each cited page that also ranks in the organic top 10 gets its rank next to it.
That's one keyword. SerpDad checks every keyword in your plan.
Inside SerpDad, AI Overviews are read from the results your plan already fetched, at no extra cost. You see which keywords get an overview, who is cited and whether it is you, plus scheduled AI Mode checks.
Your first plan is free up to 1,000 keywords. SerpDad covers Google's AI features only, not chatbots.
Questions and answers.
Can't find the answer? Email us.
Is the AI Overview checker really free?
Yes. You need no account and no provider keys. SerpDad pays for the checks, with a daily limit per network and a daily spending cap for the tool.
Which country does it check?
Google's US results.
Why does it say the overview loads later?
Sometimes Google loads the AI Overview after the page and sends no citations with the results. The checker tells you that, instead of showing an empty list.
How fresh is the result?
A keyword checked in the last 7 days shows the stored result. AI Overviews change faster than rankings, so the window is shorter than for the other free tools.
Do I need to give my email?
Not for the answer. Whether there is an AI Overview, and the first 3 cited pages, always show. The full list of citations needs your email and your consent.
Does it check AI Mode too?
Not in the free checker. AI Mode answers take too long to come back while you wait. AI Mode checks run on a schedule inside a SerpDad workspace.
That's one check.
