What does the AI Overview Checker check?

Google published the criteria for appearing in AI Overviews and AI Mode. We audit your page against every public rule and tell you exactly where you are failing. Each result links back to Google's own documentation, so you can show your team why a fix matters.

Snippet eligibility

Google only shows pages in AI Overviews if they can show with a snippet. We catch the silent blockers (nosnippet, max-snippet:0, hidden noindex) that take your page out of the running.

Indexability

We confirm Googlebot can actually reach and index the page (robots.txt, meta robots, canonical tag, HTTP status), because AI Overviews can only cite indexed URLs.

Content quality signals

Google's people-first guidance asks for clear authorship, dates, and first-hand expertise. We check visible bylines, schema authors, freshness markers, and content depth.

Surface formats

AI features pull text, images, and video. We check max-snippet, max-image-preview, max-video-preview, alt text, and VideoObject schema so Google can use everything you have.

A scored breakdown, every failing check with the exact Google source link, and a prioritized fix list you can hand straight to your dev team.

Why It Matters

AI Overviews are reshaping Google traffic

AI Overviews now appear on a large share of Google searches and reduce clicks to the classic blue links. Sites cited inside the AI Overview keep their visibility. Sites that are not eligible disappear from the answer entirely.

The criteria are public

Google published its AI optimization guide. We audit against that exact document so every recommendation has a primary source you can cite to your team.

Most sites fail invisible blockers

A single nosnippet directive or a stale max-snippet:0 takes your page out of every AI Overview. We surface these silent eligibility blockers first.

Skip the wrong fixes

Some commonly-recommended AI-SEO tactics (special meta tags, content chunking, AI-only schema) do not affect Google AI Overviews. Our report tells you which fixes actually move the needle for Google.

Fix the right things first

Eligibility blockers are weighted 4x heavier than surface tweaks. The score tells you the highest-leverage fix without forcing you to read a 25-point checklist.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We run 20+ checks across four categories: Eligibility (Googlebot access, noindex, snippet directives, canonical), Content Quality (title, description, h1, author and date signals, structured-data integrity), Surface Formats (max-snippet, max-image-preview, max-video-preview, alt text, video schema), and Technical (HTTPS, semantic landmarks, heading hierarchy, internal links). Each check maps to a specific paragraph in Google's official AI optimization guide.

AI Overviews are the AI-generated summaries Google shows at the top of search results, with cited links to source websites. AI Mode is a separate conversational experience inside Google Search. Both pull from the same Search index and the same eligibility rules, which is what we audit.

Not for Google specifically. Google has stated that llms.txt is not used by AI Overviews or AI Mode (those features use the regular Search index). llms.txt is a separate, proposed standard for giving AI tools a structured summary of your site, and many sites ship one as part of their broader AI readiness work. Our free llms.txt generator creates one in seconds if you want one.

No. Google has stated structured data is not required for AI features and there is no special schema.org markup you need to add. Structured data is still useful for rich-result eligibility on the classic SERP, but it is not a hard requirement for AI Overviews.

Yes. Enter a URL and you see your top blockers and overall score immediately, no signup required. The full report (every check, every recommendation, every Google source link) is emailed for free.

Fix the Eligibility blockers first - they are worth 40% of the score and they are pass-or-fail. From there, add author and date signals (Google's Who/How/Why), set the max-snippet meta robots tag to allow large previews, and make sure your structured data matches your visible text. SiteSpeakAI can also turn your content into an AI agent so visitors get instant answers once Google does send them to you.
