Track your brand
in Google AI Overviews.
AI Overviews answer the question above the classic results. Being named or cited inside one is the new position one, and checking dozens of questions by hand does not scale.
Scans daily · Included on every plan
01
Real search results, not an API
AI Overviews can't be queried like a chatbot. Referenced fetches live Google results for each prompt's country and captures the Overview plus every link it cites.
02
Not every search triggers one
When Google shows no Overview for a query, Referenced records that as a complete result. Knowing where the answer box does not appear is useful too.
03
Alongside classic search
Connect Search Console on the Traffic page to read AI visibility and classic search clicks on one timeline.
Google AI Overviews questions, answered.
How do I check if my site appears in Google AI Overviews? + −
Referenced searches Google for each question you track and records the AI Overview that appears, including every link it cites. It then shows whether your brand or domain was named and which competitors appeared, on every scheduled scan.
Why don't Google AI Overviews show for some searches? + −
Google does not show an AI Overview for every search, so some queries return none. Referenced records those queries as complete results with no Overview rather than errors, so you can see where an answer box appears for your questions and where it does not.
What does Referenced record when a search has no AI Overview? + −
Referenced stores a complete result with an empty answer and counts it as unanswered, not as a failed scan. It also requests Overviews that Google loads asynchronously, so a late-loading Overview is not wrongly logged as missing.
Do Google AI Overviews show different results by location? + −
Yes, results can differ by location. Referenced runs each Google search for the country of the prompt, or your site's country when the prompt has none, so the Overview you see is the one customers in that market would see.
Do Google AI Overviews send traffic to my site? + −
Visits from AI Overviews arrive in analytics as ordinary google/organic traffic, so they cannot be separated from classic search. Referenced shows your AI visibility beside your traffic on the Traffic page and flags this limit under the AI Referrals chart.
Is Google AI Overviews tracking included in every plan, and why not just search Google myself? + −
Google AI Overviews tracking is included on every plan, not sold as an add-on. Searching by hand shows one Overview for your own browser; Referenced captures live Google results for every tracked question on a schedule and scores your visibility over time.
