what's your process for tracking ai overviews?

I understand the theory of tracking ai overviews, i just can't make it work in practice. Small team, so whatever it is has to be maintainable. Has anyone got a process that holds up? Cheers.

honestly it's still messy. search console counts ai overview appearances inside normal web search data, so you get the impressions but there's no filter to split them out. what we do is keep a list of our important queries and use a rank tracker that flags whether an overview showed and whether we were cited in it. manual checks are fine for a handful of terms but results change by location and from one day to the next, so don't trust a single screenshot.
