Are AI Overviews the same as Google AI Mode?
No: Overviews are the boxes above the results, AI Mode is a conversational search tab; Bikma monitors both.
How can I track visibility in Google AI Overviews?
Integration
Bikma tracks brand visibility in Google AI Overviews every day, detecting whether and how the brand appears in the AI-generated boxes and which sources are drawn on.
How Bikma monitors it
Bikma runs the monitored prompts against the surface every day and detects whether the brand appears in the boxes and with which sources. Comparing with the other models shows where the brand is weakest across the Google ecosystem.
Why monitor Google AI Overviews
Google AI Overviews, launched in May 2024 out of the Search Generative Experience, are the AI-generated summary boxes above the search results, and for many queries they replace reading the links at all. They are the AI surface with the widest exposure on Google, so often the one with the greatest impact on traffic and on how the brand is perceived.
Plan availability
AI Overviews are among Bikma's four standard models, together with Google AI Mode: on Scout and Teams you pick 3 of them, while the top plans (Partner for agencies, Corporate for brands) include every model.
Frequently asked questions
Are they included in the base plan?
Yes: they are one of the four standard models; on Scout and Teams you pick 3 of them.
Does Bikma show the sources cited in Overviews?
Yes: it collects the domains drawn on in the boxes and classifies them by type and Domain Authority.
