— Above the results

Google's summary names a rival and a comparison site.Your page sits under it.

Someone googles the best pet insurance for an older dog. The AI Overview at the top names Hollis Cover and a comparison site. Meadowbank's page is in the results below, under an answer that's already been given.

— How Stride solves it

See Google's summary for the questions you track.

Step 1: Search Google

Run the search your buyer runs

Some searches show an Overview. Some don't.

When no Overview appears, that search counts as not mentioned, so a missing Overview never looks like a win.

Google searchesSample data
  • What is the best pet insurance for older dogs?Searching Google
  • Is Meadowbank or Hollis Cover better for a puppy?
  • How much is pet insurance for a kitten?
  • Is pet insurance worth it for indoor cats?
  • Which pet insurers let you see any vet?

What is the best pet insurance for older dogs? AIO appeared, not mentioned. Is Meadowbank or Hollis Cover better for a puppy? AIO appeared, brand mentioned. How much is pet insurance for a kitten? No AIO, not mentioned. Is pet insurance worth it for indoor cats? AIO appeared, brand mentioned. Which pet insurers let you see any vet? No AIO, not mentioned.

Step 2: Check the summary

See if it named and linked you

Named but not linked shows up on its own line.

Every search lands in one group: your page cited, your name mentioned without a link, or not mentioned at all.

Step 3: Watch it change

See if you're showing up more often

Every scan runs the same searches again.

The coverage trend shows, scan after scan, how often an Overview appeared, named you and linked to your site.

For anyone whose buyers start on Google.

Be the practice Google's summary names.

Track the questions people google before they book, and see whether the Overview names you or a practice down the road.

Questions you'd trackSample data

Google AI Overviews are on Grow for the first 15 questions you added (not a top 15) and on Scale for every question. On Starter they're an add-on: $19 a month for 15 questions or $29 for all of them. See what each plan includes

Questions, answered.

Which plans include Google AI Overviews tracking?

Grow checks the first 15 questions you added, in the order you added them, not a top 15. Scale checks every question. On Starter it's an add-on: $19 a month for the first 15 questions, or $29 a month for all 25.

How does Stride check Google AI Overviews?

For each tracked question (a prompt), Stride runs one real Google search and records whether an AI Overview appeared, whether it mentioned your brand, and whether it cited one of your pages. Searches aren't set to a city or country.

What if Google shows no AI Overview?

That search counts as not mentioned. Google shows an Overview on some searches and not others, so Stride also reports how often one appeared at all, as AIO coverage.

Why are AI Overviews reported apart from ChatGPT and Gemini?

An AI Overview is part of a Google results page, not a chat answer. Stride shows it in its own Google AI Overviews view, apart from the results for the chat AI tools on your plan.

Does an AI Overview miss become a task?

Not today. Tasks and drafts come from your results in ChatGPT and the other chat AI tools on your plan.

Does Stride track Google AI Mode?

No. Stride tracks AI Overviews, the summaries at the top of Google results. AI Mode isn't tracked.
