GEO Citation Scanner is relevant to Google. Scavio provides a unified API to access data from all of these platforms.

Google AI Overviews cite source URLs when generating answers to search queries. A GEO citation scanner monitors these citations systematically to answer: 'Is my domain being cited? For which keywords? How often? Who else is cited?' Scanning pipeline: (1) Maintain a keyword list (50-500 target terms). (2) Query each keyword via a SERP API with AI Overview data enabled. Scavio returns ai_overview content with cited sources at $0.005/query. (3) Parse citations to extract domain, URL, and position within the AI Overview. (4) Store results with timestamps for trend analysis. (5) Alert on changes: new citations gained, citations lost, new competitor citations. Cost at scale: scanning 200 keywords daily = 6,000 queries/mo = $30/mo via Scavio. Scanning 500 keywords weekly = 2,000 queries/mo = $10/mo. The cost is dramatically lower than manual checking or using enterprise SEO tools that charge $200+/mo for AI visibility features. What the data reveals: citation frequency correlates with content freshness and topical authority. Pages with 'last updated' dates within 30 days get cited 2-3x more often than stale content. Pages with structured data (tables, numbered lists) get cited more than narrative-only content. These patterns, visible only through systematic scanning, inform content optimization strategy. Google confirmed in 2026 that AI Overview citations use the same ranking signals as organic search. A GEO citation scanner therefore also serves as a proxy for organic ranking health.
