Why does it matter what Google AI Mode says about your brand?
Google AI Mode is Google's conversational AI search. Buyers use it to compare options and ask follow-up questions, so the brands it names and the pages it cites shape which providers they consider.
What does Visiby record for each Google AI Mode answer?
- Mention: whether the AI Mode answer names your brand.
- Citation: whether it links to a page on your domain. Mentions and citations are counted separately.
- Cited pages: every page and domain the answer cited, labelled as yours, a tracked competitor, or another site.
- Position (Pro and Agency): how your brand ranks against the other brands named in the same answer.
- No answer: when a run captures no answer, it is marked “No answer captured on this run.” Answers that fail are left out of every rate.
- Country: the country you choose during setup is applied to the Google searches behind AI Mode.
