Is your page ready for Google AI Overviews?
Enter a domain. This checker fetches your homepage and scores the formatting that makes a page eligible for Google AI Overviews and featured snippets.
Why formatting matters
Google AI Overviews reward pages it can extract fast
An AI Overview is the AI-generated answer box at the top of many Google results. Google assembles it from pages it can read, trust, and quickly pull a clean answer from — so a concise lead answer, marked-up FAQs, steps and tables, question headings, and a visible date all raise your eligibility.
This checker scores those on-page fundamentals from your live HTML, so you can format for the Overview before you measure whether you're actually in one.
What keeps a page out of the Overview
- No concise answer Google can lift near the top
- No FAQ or Q&A structured data to parse
- No steps or tables — just walls of prose
- No date, so the content reads as stale

What does the AI Overview checker do?
It scans your page for the on-page formatting that makes a page eligible for Google AI Overviews (SGE) and featured snippets: a concise lead answer near the top, FAQPage structured data, snippet-friendly formats like ordered lists and tables, question-style headings, and a freshness date. It rolls them into a readiness score.
Does it tell me if I'm actually in an AI Overview?
No — and it never pretends to. Whether you actually appear in a Google AI Overview depends on live SERP queries for your keywords, which is the paid AEOMaster audit. This free checker measures whether your page is formatted to be eligible in the first place, using only your page's HTML.
What is a Google AI Overview?
A Google AI Overview is the AI-generated answer box shown at the top of many Google searches (formerly SGE). Google assembles it from pages it can read, trust, and quickly extract an answer from — so concise answers, clear structure, and structured data all help.
How is the score calculated?
The score is a transparent average of the individual checks — each pass, improve, or fix. It's deterministic: the same page always gets the same score. It reflects on-page readiness, not whether you currently appear in an Overview.
Does it check my whole site?
It checks your homepage — the most representative page for site-wide formatting signals. Enter any domain and it fetches that site's homepage. The full AEOMaster audit looks across your key pages and the live SERPs and AI answers.
Will good formatting get me into the Overview?
It's a strong start, but placement also depends on authority, relevance to the query, and competition. The full AEOMaster audit measures whether you actually appear in AI Overviews for your keywords — and which competitors are cited instead.
Beyond this tool
This checker scores your on-page AI Overview formatting. AEOMaster turns that into a full one-time audit of whether you actually appear in Google's AI Overviews — and who's shown instead.
The queries where a Google AI Overview appears and whether your page is in it.
The competitors Google cites in the Overview instead of you, and the pages winning them.
Every finding ranked by expected impact and effort, so you know what to fix first.
Each issue comes with the why, the steps, and an example you can act on.
Re-run it after you ship fixes to confirm your Overview presence improved.
From Overview-ready to in the Overview
AEOMaster turns this readiness score into a one-time AI visibility report: the queries where a Google AI Overview appears, whether you're in it, the competitors cited instead, and prioritized fixes you can re-run after each change.
