Free AI Overview
Checker
Google's AI Overviews answer the query before the blue links begin. See whether your page is eligible to be pulled into that answer box, with a 0-100 readiness score and the exact fixes, in seconds.
Google answers first. Are you in it?
Paste a URL and see whether your page is eligible to be pulled into Google's AI Overview, with a weighted 0-100 readiness score and the ranked fixes, in seconds.
You can rank first and still be invisible.
Google's AI Overview now answers the question above the ten blue links, and it quotes only a handful of pages. If your page is not readable and quotable, the click can go to a cited competitor further down. Being eligible is the new front row, and most pages miss on the same few signals.
One URL in. A score and a fix list out.

We read the AI signals
We fetch the live page, its robots.txt and llms.txt, and test the six signals Google uses to build an AI Overview.

A weighted 0-100 readiness score, a pass or fail on every signal, and the fixes ordered by how many points each one is worth.
What these words mean
AI Overview
The AI-written answer box at the top of many Google results, above the blue links. It quotes a few pages and links back to them.
The answer, before result oneReadiness score
A weighted 0-100 of the signals Google uses to build an Overview. Higher means your page is easier to read and to quote.
80 or higher is strongGooglebot
The crawler that builds Google's search index. AI Overviews are drawn from that index, so Googlebot has to be allowed to fetch your page.
Blocked in robots.txt means outGoogle-Extended
A separate robots.txt control for whether Google may use your content to train and ground Gemini. It does not decide Search or Overview inclusion.
Not the same as GooglebotStructured data
Schema.org labels in JSON-LD that tell Google what your page is. FAQ, HowTo and Article markup flag which part is the answer.
FAQPage marks a Q and AClear answer up front
A short, self-contained answer in the opening, before the detail, so Google can lift it straight into the box.
40 to 600 characters, answer firstA weighted readiness score, 0-100.
Every signal Google leans on is scored and weighted, then rolled into one number you can act on. It tells you at a glance whether your page is set up to be cited, or at risk of being skipped.
- Each signal weighted by how much it moves eligibility
- A pass or fail on every check, with a reason
- The same 0-100 read on any page you paste
Rule of thumb: 80 and up is strong, 55 to 79 is partly ready, and below 55 usually means a crawler block or an answer Google cannot read.
The exact signals Google weighs.
The score is not a black box. It comes from six signals that add up to 100 points, and you can see how much each one is worth, so you know which fix makes a real difference most.
- Crawler access and structured data carry the most, 20 points each
- A clear answer up front is worth 18, the last three 14 each
- Miss a heavy signal and the score tells you first
Why it works: AI Overviews are built from Google's index and favour pages it can parse. Access and machine-readable structure weigh most because they decide whether Google can use your page at all.
See what passes, and what to fix first.
Every check comes back as a pass or a fail with the reason in plain words, and the failed ones are ranked by point impact, so the top of the list is always the change that moves your score the most.
- A pass or fail on each of the six eligibility signals
- Failed signals ranked by how many points they are worth
- A concrete, do-this-next reason on every row
Pro tip: work the list top down. One fix at the top can lift the whole page across a tier, while three small ones lower down often do not.
AI Overview readiness: northpeak.io
How to read a result, signal by signal.
A score only helps if you know what to do with it. Here is the exact read on our example page, northpeak.io/guide/cart-abandonment, the way an experienced SEO would think it through.
Built for teams that want the answer box.
Get quoted without out-spending anyone
You cannot out-link the incumbents, but you can be the page Google lifts. Check whether you are even eligible, then fix the exact reasons you are not.
Know why a rival is cited and you are not
Stop guessing. Get a pass or fail on every eligibility signal, ranked by impact, so you walk in with specifics instead of a hunch.
Write pages built to be lifted
Turn each failed signal into a rule for the next draft: answer first, structure the headings, mark up the page. Every post ships answer-ready.
Hand clients a punch list, not a hunch
Run any URL and give the client a ranked set of fixes with a score to move, then re-check to show the before and after.
Questions, answered.
Not exactly. This measures readiness, whether Google can read your page and is set up to cite it. It does not read the live Overview for a query. A high score means you have cleared the eligibility bar Google selects from, which is what you control.
No. Every signal passes or fails with a reason, and the fixes are ranked so you know what to do next. Paste a URL and start at the top of the list.
No. Google-Extended is a separate robots.txt control that governs whether Google may use your content to train and ground Gemini. AI Overviews are built from Google's normal search index, so it is Googlebot access that decides eligibility here.
Six weighted signals that add up to 100: crawler access and structured data at 20 each, a clear answer up front at 18, and heading structure, question format, and freshness and depth at 14 each. We read your live page, robots.txt and llms.txt to score them.
This checks whether Google can read and is allowed to cite your page. The paid product tracks the next question, whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude actually name you, how you compare to competitors, and how it trends, alongside the rest of the platform's 60+ SEO and AI-search tools.
Treat it as a habit. Overviews shift as Google reweighs its sources, so re-check the pages that matter monthly, and again after any real rewrite, to catch a lost slot while you can still respond.
See if you are in the answer.
It takes one URL. You get a weighted readiness score, a pass or fail on every signal Google uses, and the fixes ranked by impact.
