Free tool, no signup
See if Googlebot may crawl your page, if Google may index and quote it, and why Google-Extended doesn’t matter here.
Both are part of Google Search. So the normal Search rules apply, Google says.
Googlebot fetches your page and runs its JavaScript, like a browser does. Your robots.txt rules for Googlebot decide what it may crawl.
To be a supporting link, a page must be indexed and allowed to show a snippet. Google says there are no other technical requirements.
AI Overviews and AI Mode link to pages from the index. AI Mode can run many related searches at once to answer one question. Google calls that query fan-out.
We fetch your robots.txt and your page once, as our own bot. We never pretend to be Googlebot, and we don’t ask Google anything.
Tracking AI Overviews means running searches again and again. This free tool doesn’t do that. It checks the part you control: whether Google may crawl, index and quote the page.
Make sure Googlebot isn’t blocked in the robots.txt in the root of your site:
User-agent: Googlebot
Allow: /Then remove noindex, nosnippet and max-snippet:0 from pages you want in AI answers. Want to keep one part out? Put data-nosnippet on that element.
You don’t need a special AI file or extra markup, Google says. And blocking Google-Extended won’t remove you from AI Overviews or AI Mode.
Search for the questions your customers ask and see which links appear. Try a few wordings, because answers change.
Our free prompt generator writes those questions for you. You run the searches yourself: nothing is sent to an AI.

No. Google says you don’t need new machine-readable files, AI text files or markup. A normal page that may be indexed and show a snippet is eligible.
No. Google-Extended does not affect Google Search. It controls whether your content may train Gemini models and ground answers in the Gemini app.
Put the data-nosnippet attribute on that element. To keep the whole page out, use nosnippet. To leave Search completely, use noindex.
Yes, but not separately. It is part of the Performance report, under search type Web.
Not for Google: Googlebot runs JavaScript before it indexes a page. But Google itself notes that not all bots can. Text in the HTML is safer for other AI crawlers.
Partly. It shows if Google-Extended is blocked, which decides if the Gemini app may use your pages to ground answers. Those answers draw on the Google Search index, so the Googlebot checks matter there too.
