Do you want to scrape and analyze Google’s AI Overviews?
With the thruuu SERP Analyzer, you can extract detailed data from AI Overviews (AIO) displayed in Google search results.
The tool allows you to extract:
- The full AI-generated text snapshot
- The list of source URLs that support the snapshot, along with their on-page data (headings, word count, schema, and more)
- Brand mentions found in the AIO
- The main topics and themes covered in the summary
Beyond extraction, the AIO Analyzer compares the AI Overview with the top 10 organic search results.
It highlights differences and overlaps in word count, image usage, page freshness, headings, and topical coverage.
If you are an SEO expert or an agency looking to understand how Google’s AI Overviews influence the SERP, the thruuu AIO Analyzer reveals which sources, brands, and themes are featured, helping you adapt your content strategy and stay ahead of zero-click search trends.
Let’s explore the AI Overviews Analyzer.
Overview of the Google AIO Analysis Tool
Here is a full breakdown of the AI Overview (AIO) analyzer included in the thruuu SERP Analysis tool:
- AI Overview Text Extraction: Captures the main AI-generated summary displayed in the SERP.
- Brand and Theme Detection: Analyzes the AIO text to identify mentioned brands and underlying themes.
- Source Extraction: Collects all URLs listed as sources in the AI Overview. Each source is enriched with on-page data such as H1, H2, word count, images, schema markup, and more.
- Outlines, Frequent Terms, and Questions: Extracts structural elements and recurring patterns from the source pages.
- Text Fragment Extraction: Parses and aggregates highlighted text snippets (i.e., #:~:text= fragments) to identify frequently emphasized key terms.
Comparison with Organic Results
The tool also provides insights by comparing the AI Overview to the top 10 organic search results:
- Common URLs and domains
- Average organic ranking of AIO-listed sources
- Content statistics comparison: word count, image count, page freshness, and page rank
- AIO vs. SERP Similarity Score: Measures how much the AIO overlaps with Google’s top 10 results based on URL and domain matching
How to Get Started with the AI Overview Analyzer
The AI Overview analysis is integrated into the thruuu SERP Analyzer. When you run a SERP analysis and an AI Overview is available for the keyword, the AIO data will automatically appear in your report.

Steps to Get Started:
