The answer sits above your ranking
An AI Overview shows above the search results. Someone can get an answer naming three businesses and never scroll down to yours. Ranking well and being named are now two separate wins.

How do I check if my brand appears in Gemini or Google AI Overviews?
Ask Gemini the questions your customers ask, look at the AI Overview for the same searches, and note whether you are named. Sophyx's free check does both for you. It shows where you appear, where a competitor appears instead, and what the answers get wrong.
What a Google Gemini answer can look like
A customer asks Google Gemini for a business nearby. This is the kind of answer they get, and where you want to be in it.

What makes Google Gemini different
Each assistant picks names for its own reasons. Knowing them tells you what to fix first.
Gemini and AI Overviews are related, not identical
Both come from Google's models, but they show up in different places and can pick differently. Being named in one doesn't mean you are named in the other, so the check looks at both.
Your SEO work carries over
Of all the AI tools, this is where classic SEO helps most: pages Google can crawl, schema, and clear facts. The usual gap is a short, direct answer on the page that AI can lift.
After the check
The check shows where you stand. Sophyx then writes the fixes, labels your facts so AI can read them, and publishes everything on your own website once you approve. Clear pages and facts that agree help on every assistant, Google Gemini included.

Assistants often disagree. Being named by one and missing from another is common.

Questions people ask
How can I track brand mentions in Gemini?
Ask Gemini the questions your customers ask, on a schedule, and note whether you are named and who is named with you. Sophyx does this for you, together with Google AI Overviews: thirty prompts, re-checked every two weeks, free.
Is there free AI Overview tracking?
Yes. Sophyx's free check includes Google AI Overviews: whether you are named for your customers' searches, and who is named instead. The free plan re-checks every two weeks.
Why does my page rank on Google but not appear in the AI Overview?
Ranking and being quoted are judged differently. AI Overviews favour a short, self-contained answer to the exact question. A long page can rank well and still have no passage that answers the question cleanly, so a shorter page that does gets picked.
Does Google-Extended affect whether I appear in Gemini?
Google-Extended controls whether Gemini apps may use your content. Blocking it is a fair choice, but it has a cost in Gemini. It doesn't affect Google Search. Make sure your robots.txt says what you mean; the free robots.txt checker shows it in a minute.
