Enhanced AI Overview Detection in Keyword Ranking Table
We’ve added new functionality to our AI Overview detection:
- Source Identification: Now, if your domain is used as a source in the AI Overview, a green AI icon will appear, indicating your domain’s reference in the AI-generated response.
- Source URL Display: Hover over the green AI icon to see the exact source URL where your domain was referenced.
We’ve enhanced our real-time ViewKey reports to provide even faster updates. Now, when you add or edit a keyword in the app, the report will automatically refresh within the ViewKey link. Your viewers will immediately see a rotating icon, signaling that the keyword is being updated in real time. No need to manually refresh the page—changes are reflected instantly, ensuring your reports are always up to date with the latest data.
The live ViewKey reports now display in widescreen for a better viewing experience. This update allows you to see more data at a glance, reducing the need for scrolling and making it easier to analyze your keyword performance.

Reports
New columns to CSV exports and scheduled reports
When exporting a CSV file from either the Ranking Table > Export button or the Scheduled Report Builder, two new columns have been added:
• Project Name
• Group Name
These columns will now be included in your exported CSV files for more detailed reporting and data organization.
We’ve added a new indicator in the SERP Feature column to show when an AI Overview result is present. You’ll see a robot icon whenever an AI Overview is detected in the search results. This feature is currently in beta, so we’re monitoring its performance and making adjustments as needed.
Note: As Google rolls out these results, we’ve noticed that the appearance of the AI Overview feature is not yet consistent. Additionally, Google requires users to be logged in to view these results, as they deliver a personalized experience. Because of this, the actual text of the AI Overview and the sources shown may vary from user to user in Spyglass. Due to these variations, we are not currently tracking the URL associated with the AI Overview. We are continuing to monitor this behavior and will make adjustments as necessary.

Enhanced Search Intent Display & Export
We’ve made an important improvement to our Search Intent feature:
All Search Intent Percentages Shown
: Previously, we only displayed Search Intent classifications with a match percentage of over 50%. We've now removed that limitation and will display the percentage for all identified intents, regardless of the match. This gives you more control and flexibility in deciding which results are most relevant to report on.
CSV Export Update: The Search Intent percentages are now also included in CSV exports, providing a more comprehensive view of your data for analysis.
These updates give you greater visibility and precision in your reporting.
