Google AI Mode
How to Show Up in Google AI Mode
AI Mode is Google's conversational search experience: it answers complex questions in detail and links to its sources. Franixo measures whether AI Mode mentions your brand for your buyers' questions and which pages it cites.
Symptoms
What weak AI Mode visibility looks like
AI Mode handles longer, more specific questions, where the winners can differ from classic search.
Detailed answers without you
AI Mode writes a full comparison for your category and your brand isn't in it.
Longer questions, different winners
Brands that win short searches can lose the longer, more specific questions AI Mode handles.
Sources you don't control
The links in AI Mode answers point to third-party sites and competitors.
What matters
What AI Mode relies on
AI Mode searches Google's index across several related queries and combines what it finds into one answer.
- Coverage
Pages for the follow-up questions
Because AI Mode explores related questions, content covering pricing, comparisons, use cases and FAQs gives it more to use.
- Index
Crawlable, indexed pages
Like the rest of Google Search, AI Mode can only use pages that are indexed and accessible.
- Authority
Trusted third-party mentions
Reviews and comparisons that Google trusts often appear among AI Mode's sources.
