What this report covers

Google AI Overviews are the AI-generated answer boxes that appear at the top of some Google SERPs. Google does not show them on every query — on a large share of searches there is simply no AI Overview at all, and users see the classic blue-link results.

This report tracks how often Google actually serves an AI Overview across the prompts we run every week. Built on the LLM Pulse dataset.

How we measure this

  • Every week LLM Pulse runs thousands of Google queries via the AI Overviews surface and captures whether the AI Overview actually appeared.

  • Coverage rate = (queries that returned an AI Overview) / (queries attempted). Queries where Google declined to show an AI Overview count as "no result".

  • 28-day rolling window, rebuilt daily.

Why this matters

If you do SEO on Google, the AI Overview coverage rate tells you how much of your category is being "eaten" by the AI box — and how fast that share is growing.

When an AI Overview shows up, it pushes the classic SERP down the fold. When it doesn't, organic still wins. This metric is the leading indicator of AI disruption at the SERP level. LLM Pulse tracks AI Overview coverage for your own queries — per country, per language, per category.
