Visibility in AI Mode. Google's conversational search, measured.
AI Mode is Google's full AI search experience: longer questions, follow-ups and a written answer instead of ten links. It passed a billion monthly users in its first year. The brands it names are the shortlist your buyer leaves with.
How it works
How AI Mode is different
01
Longer, multi-part questions
People describe their situation and constraints. Answers fan out into many sub-searches, so coverage of related questions matters.
02
One experience with AI Overviews
Google has brought AI Overviews and AI Mode together into one search experience — the AI layer is now the default result, not a side feature.
03
It can disagree with AI Overviews
For the same question, AI Mode and AI Overviews often cite different pages and name different brands, so we measure both.
