The short answer
What is a AI Mode tracker?
A Google AI Mode tracker checks whether Google's AI Mode names your brand in its conversational answers. AI Mode is powered by Gemini and fans one question into many background searches, so your classic blue-link ranking does not carry over. CITED runs this as a free instant check and tracks your AI Mode visibility over time.
Why Google AI Mode is different
What a AI Mode tracker actually shows you
01
AI Mode is Google's conversational search, not your old ranking
AI Mode, powered by Gemini, answers the whole question in a single conversational response. Your classic blue-link position does not carry over into it. A new surface means a new ranking, and it is being decided right now.
02
One question becomes dozens of hidden searches
AI Mode uses query fan-out: it breaks your question into many background searches and synthesises one answer from all of them. Broad, well-structured coverage of the topic beats ranking for a single keyword.
03
Track your AI Mode visibility before your category does
AI Mode is rolling out fast, and the brands that get surfaced now become the default answer. Track which queries name you, which name a competitor, and what to fix to get into the response.
AI Mode vs. classic Google search
Two different scoreboards
AI Mode visibility vs. a classic Google ranking
| Aspect | Classic Google search | AI Mode |
|---|
| How you appear | A blue link in classic results | Named in the conversational answer |
| What wins the spot | One keyword ranking | Coverage across the whole question |
| How the query runs | One search, one results page | One question fanned into many searches |
| How you measure it | Position for a keyword | AI Mode mention rate |

Frequently asked
AI Mode tracker FAQ
What is Google AI Mode?
AI Mode is Google's conversational search experience, powered by Gemini. Instead of a list of links, it returns a full written answer built from many background searches, and you can ask follow-up questions in the same thread.
What is an AI Mode tracker?
An AI Mode tracker checks whether Google's AI Mode names your brand when buyers ask questions in your category, measures how often you appear, and shows who is surfaced instead. CITED runs this as a free instant check and tracks the score over time.
How do I check if my brand appears in Google AI Mode?
Enter your website into the CITED checker. It runs the buyer questions a customer would ask in AI Mode, detects whether your brand is named in the synthesised answer, and returns a visibility score with the prompts you are missing.
Does my Google ranking carry over to AI Mode?
Not directly. AI Mode fans your question into many searches and writes one answer, so a top organic ranking for one keyword does not guarantee you are named. Coverage across the whole question matters more than a single position.
How can I improve my visibility in AI Mode?
Answer the full range of buyer questions clearly, structure content so it is easy to extract, strengthen your entity and schema signals, and earn trusted third-party mentions. The tracker shows which questions you are losing so you know where to start.
Is the AI Mode tracker free?
Yes. The instant AI Mode visibility check is free, with no login or credit card. You enter your website and get your score, the brands surfaced instead, and what to fix. CITED's hands-on tracking and optimisation across the AI engines is the paid service the free check leads into.
How accurate is one AI Mode check?
One check is a snapshot, not a verdict. AI Mode fans each question into many searches and its answers vary between runs, so treat the first check as your baseline and watch the trend over time.
