Google AI Mode
Rank Tracker

Track when AI Mode appears, how it answers, and whether you are mentioned or cited—across text, voice, and image-based queries.

Built for SEO agencies & in-house teams • White-label reporting • CSV/Sheets exports

Why AI Mode is different (and why you should track it)

AI Mode is powered by Gemini 2.5 to handle reasoning and multimodal prompts (type, talk, or add an image). It also offers Deep Search for fully-cited research flows. That means inclusion can change based on how users ask, what they upload, and whether they go deeper. This tracker measures those behaviors so you can win—and keep—visibility.

What this rank tracker measures (AI Mode–specific)

AI Mode Appearance Rate

% of checks where AI Mode shows for a query.

Mention Presence

Your brand appears in the answer text.

Citation Presence

Your domain/URL is listed among sources.

Modality Impact

Inclusion deltas for text vs. voice vs. image prompts.

Follow-up Delta

Change in mention/citation after common follow-ups.

Deep Search Signals

When Deep Search is suggested/used and whether you're cited in the resulting report.

Source Mix Index

Domains/types AI Mode cites (publishers, docs, .gov/.edu, vendors).

Region Coverage

Sampling from supported regions (US/UK/India) with rollout notes.

Core KPI: Appearance Rate × (Mention or Citation Presence), segmented by modality and follow-ups.

Unique modules for AI Mode

1

Modality Map

See which query + modality pairs trigger AI Mode most (e.g., "compare X vs Y" by voice; "how to fix" with a screenshot). Prioritize the combos that move inclusion.

2

Deep Search Tracker

Log when Deep Search is offered and whether your pages appear in the fully-cited report. Compare citations between the standard AI Mode answer and Deep Search.

3

Follow-up Behavior

Track inclusion shifts after "price?", "steps?", "alternatives?", and other common follow-ups. Add sections that lock in presence when users dig deeper.

4

Source Replacement Map

Identify the external sources AI Mode prefers in your cluster and show what to publish or improve to replace them (tables, primary data, concise steps).

Own the Generative Layer Above the Fold

AI Mode compresses answers and sources into a single view where buyers decide faster. Even when blue-link clicks dip, showing inside AI Mode keeps your brand visible and builds demand. This tracker turns AI Mode into a measurable channel you can improve week after week.

Presence

Are we in AI Mode when it appears?

Attribution

Are we mentioned or cited (linked)?

Momentum

Are we improving appearance rate and share vs. rivals?

Real insights that move the needle on AI Mode visibility

"Image-prompted 'how to install…' queries show AI Mode 68% of the time; adding a 4-step TL;DR + annotated images increased your citation rate +21%."

"For 'X vs Y', voice prompts favor concise spec tables. A 10-row comparison table lifted mentions +17% across the cluster."

"When Deep Search appears, pages with primary source links are cited 2.4× more often than pages that reference summaries."
