For each query it reports whether an AI Overview was shown, provides the AI-generated answer broken into ordered content blocks (paragraphs, headings, lists, tables), and supplies the full reference list with source metadata (titles, links, snippets, source domains). When you supply domains to monitor, each row is classified with a citation verdict and counts of cited pages and URLs. The Actor also returns imagery when present, geolocation/language context and timestamps, retrieval and caching metadata (including cached-copy age and stale attachments), and an indicator when deferred generation was resolved. Outputs are optimized for batch runs and trend analysis across many queries, enabling citation-tracking, competitor-source analysis, and programmatic consumption by AI agents.\n\n## Use cases\n\n- GEO / AEO monitoring: track whether a brand or domain is cited in Google’s AI Overview answers for target queries and chart citation trends over time. \n- Competitor citation analysis: identify which domains Google’s AI cites for specific keywords and extract the cited sources as content briefs. \n- SEO research: discover the sources and phrasing Google’s AI uses to answer topic queries. \n- Content strategy: compare AI Overview answers and cited sources across queries, countries, or time to inform rewrites and topic coverage. \n- AI agent workflows: let an AI agent call the API as a tool to fetch AI Overview answers and references in-conversation. \n- Datasets for analysis: batch hundreds of queries to produce structured answer texts and citation metadata for downstream analysis or model grounding.", "deploymentKey": "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDU1XqQuCSDJ7yFA6yC20g9fGXlOJMFTCgGmtLjEWQHEyrgyTV4a4pUEiBSuplFupSXCVg7F24hsjrxSeTsiI1bf9feQ9ZCv1NZLMX3b0NeQx6IPZCatnAYFzKSJOLFR09vRL+r0TpRYTfVyUyyYvVY1b/wZuQ2Gv1nfQc+9tbNaJPJD/hFsXdpLgcXb0tjFGPTHe+hzFYXI/DOkxbdthvAU38BKLw6z9blFuG4ttMduRMj/2ps/PM4Cizlt30XxzQyh5fnKqNO5jyJ+w2E6kMzR78GKOl6x9r5ibSEucyRRwISOZZCHtc4pzeQqMesSdUD1+Z4Hi28dyoT+CvNXA1D \n" } }
