Fetching the live page and running checks…
Real fetch + real HTML analysis of the URL you enter, fetched server-side from credorank.com. Scoring weights reflect a CredoRank-designed model of AI-Overview-friendly formatting, not an official algorithm disclosed by Google. Works best on standard HTML/WordPress pages in English — sites that load content via JavaScript, block external fetching, or require login may not scan accurately.
How it works

Three steps, no guesswork

Nothing here is simulated — each step actually happens when you click "Grade my page."

1

Paste your URL

Drop in any live page — yours or a competitor's.

2

We read the real page

Our server fetches the live HTML — the same thing an AI engine would see.

3

Get a score + fixes

A weighted score, the exact text an AI might quote, and the top fixes to prioritize.

What we check

The 6 signals AI Overviews actually weigh

Each check is scored and weighted, then rolled into your overall score.

1
25%

Direct answer near the top

Is there a real answer right after the heading, or is it buried under an intro?

2
15%

Question-phrased headings

Do your headings match how people actually ask questions?

3
20%

Quotable answer length

Is the opening answer roughly 40–60 words — complete but quotable?

4
15%

List or table formatting

Structured content gets lifted into AI answers far more often than plain text.

5
15%

No filler before the answer

Generic openers like "In this article..." push the real answer further down.

6
10%

Title matches a search question

Does your title read like something someone would actually type?

Why this matters now

AI answers are replacing the click

More and more searches now end at an AI-generated answer instead of a visit to your site.

🔎

Google is changing

AI Overviews now answer many queries directly on the results page — before anyone clicks through.

💬

New gatekeepers

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are becoming a first stop for research, skipping search entirely.

📌

Being quoted > ranking #1

If an AI engine can't extract your answer cleanly, ranking #1 on Google won't get you cited.

FAQS

Questions Before You Get Started

Straight answers about how the AI Overview Checker works and what to do with the results.

It's the AI-generated answer box Google now shows above normal search results for many queries — answering the question directly, often before anyone clicks through to a website.

No. It reads your page's real HTML and checks it against known formatting patterns AI Overviews prefer — no AI model is called, so it's instant and free to run.

No tool can guarantee citation, since AI engines don't publish their exact selection process. A high score means your page has the right foundation, which meaningfully improves your odds.

It works best on standard HTML/WordPress pages in English. Sites that load content via JavaScript, block external fetching, or require login may not scan accurately.
