The problem
The problem: AI answers your reader's question before they reach you
- Google shows an AI Overview at the top for some recipe searches.
- Readers ask AI chat tools for a recipe and get a summary, sometimes with a link, often without.
- You cannot see this in your normal reports. Search Console counts AI Overview clicks inside the Web totals.
- You do not know if AI names your blog, a competitor, or nobody.
Why it matters
What it costs your blog
- If the reader gets the answer above your post, fewer readers click. Fewer clicks means fewer ad impressions.
- When AI names your blog as a source, some readers still click to get the full recipe and the photos.
- Guessing costs time. A clear picture tells you if this is a real problem for your blog, or not yet.

Check my blog's emailWhat is an AI visibility audit, and does a food blog need one?
An AI visibility audit answers one question: when an AI tool answers a question your blog answers, does it name your blog?
There are two places this matters for food bloggers. The first is Google’s AI Overviews. For some searches, Google writes a short AI answer at the top of the results, with links to the pages it used. The second is AI chat tools, where a reader types “easy pumpkin pie recipe” and gets a summary.
Why it matters
Your income depends on readers who reach your page. They see your ads, save your recipe, join your newsletter and come back. If an AI answer gives them enough above your post, some will not click. That is a real worry for many food bloggers, and it is fair to want facts instead of guesses.
What Google says
Google’s own guide is plain. There are no extra requirements to appear in AI Overviews, and no special tricks. The page must be indexed and eligible to show in Search with a snippet. The usual good practice still applies: helpful content, a clear page, structured data that matches what is on the page, and a site that works well.
Google also says that clicks from AI Overviews are counted in your normal Search Console numbers, under the “Web” search type. They are not shown on their own. So you cannot simply look up “AI traffic” in your reports.
What our free check does
We agree on 20 searches that matter to your blog. We run each one in Google and in popular AI chat tools, and we record what we see on that date: an AI answer or not, your blog named or not, a link or not, and who was named instead. You get a simple table and the screenshots.
What happens next
Often the answer is “this is not your main problem yet”. Then you have saved yourself time and worry. Sometimes we find a pattern, for example a competitor named for all your best holiday recipes. Then we suggest a fix plan with a price and a clear test. It is usually ordinary work, done well: clearer posts, complete recipe cards, a strong About page, and a faster site. You choose. If you choose nothing, you pay nothing.
