What is Google AI Overviews?
Google AI Overviews is a new search format that replaces traditional local business listings (like the three-pack) with AI-generated summaries, personalized recommendations, and contextual information drawn from multiple sources across the web. Instead of just showing business listings, it creates comprehensive overviews highlighting key attributes and answering common questions.
How does Local Falcon track a brand's visibility in AI Overviews?
Local Falcon measures Share of AI Voice (SAIV). The tool will perform a search at every pin on your geo-grid, it will then record whether an AI Overviews result was present or not, and it will record whether your brand is mentioned/cited. Your SAIV score is the percentage of map pins where you're mentioned. We also display the AI Overviews response itself, and show you the sources Google chose.
Does Local Falcon show which sources Google's AI uses for my business?
Yes, Local Falcon reveals which external sources and citations the AI references when generating results about your business. This transparency helps you prioritize which third-party platforms and review sites to focus on for better AI visibility.
What is Local Falcon's Google AI Overviews tracking?
Local Falcon is the first comprehensive solution designed specifically to help businesses track and understand their visibility within Google's AI-generated search results at a local level. The tool monitors when your business appears in an AI Overviews response.
What is SAIV?
SAIV stands for Share of AI Voice. It represents the percentage of map pins where your business is mentioned in AI-generated search results, such as Google's AI Overviews.
Just like SoLV measures your presence in local map results, SAIV captures your visibility within AI-driven answers across your entire geo-grid.
A higher SAIV score means your business is consistently surfaced by AI in the area you scanned.
It's a valuable metric for tracking brand recognition, spotting growth opportunities, and understanding how AI systems interpret and prioritize your business.
