FAQ
What is an AI Overview citation?
Google AI Overviews answer questions at the top of search results and list source links. Being cited means your page is one of the sources the AI summary draws from — a major new traffic channel.
How do I get my site cited by AI Overviews?
Publish clear, well-structured answers (question-style headings, concise paragraphs), implement Organization and FAQ schema, allow AI crawlers in robots.txt, and add an llms.txt file. The GEO Audit tool checks all of these.
Why does the result say no AI Overview?
Not every query triggers an AI Overview. Try more question-style or informational keywords where AI answers are common.
Is it free?
The tool is free; it uses your configured DataForSEO account for real SERP data. Results are cached to save API credits.
