Google’s AI Overview answers many searches before the blue links — citing a handful of sources. Paste your URL for an instant check of how ready your site is to be one of them, and the exact fixes that get you cited.
Google synthesises an answer from multiple pages it considers authoritative and directly relevant, then cites a few. Pages that win share traits you can engineer for: a direct answer high on the page, clear heading structure, structured data that exposes the facts, genuine topical depth, and fast, crawlable delivery with Google-Extended allowed. This checker reads your robots.txt and homepage and scores how ready you are.
