See exactly what Google AI Mode says for any keyword
See exactly what Google AI Mode says for any keyword — the full AI-generated response, every source it cited, and every domain it trusted. Live results.
What This Tool Shows
Google AI Mode generates a complete AI-written answer when you search — this tool shows you the full response, exactly which sources it cited, and which domains it trusted most.
How to Read Your Results
Four result panels, each answering a distinct question about your Google AI Mode visibility.
AI Response
What did Google AI Mode actually say for your keyword? Read it. Does it name your brand or competitors? The response text is your primary signal.
Cited Sources
Every specific page Google AI Mode used when forming its answer. Is your domain cited? If not, these are the pages Google trusted instead of you — your GEO benchmarks.
Cited Domains
All source domains ranked by citation frequency. A domain cited 8 times is heavily relied on for this topic. These are the authority sites to study and compete with.
Verify Link
Each result includes a direct Google link. Click 'View in Google AI Mode ↗' to see the live result. Results can change in real-time — use this to confirm freshness.
Why Google AI Mode Matters for SEO
Unlike AI Overviews which appear alongside organic results, Google AI Mode is a dedicated search experience — it generates a comprehensive AI answer and typically shows far fewer traditional organic results below it.
AI Mode vs AI Overviews
AI Overviews appear automatically in standard search. AI Mode is a dedicated tab users choose for deep research — responses are longer, cite more sources, and support multi-turn follow-up questions.
Citation ≠ Ranking
Being cited in Google AI Mode doesn't require ranking #1 organically. Google AI Mode draws from a broader pool of trusted sources — authoritative, well-structured content can be cited even without a top-10 position.
Location Differences
Google AI Mode responses vary by location. A brand well-cited in the US may not appear in UK results for the same keyword. Check both markets if you operate internationally.
E-E-A-T Signals
Google's guidance confirms AI Mode citation selection follows E-E-A-T principles: original data, clear author credentials, and authoritative sources improve citation likelihood.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Google AI Mode? ▾
Google AI Mode is a dedicated search experience within Google Search where users can ask complex questions and receive a comprehensive AI-generated answer. Unlike standard search results, AI Mode generates a multi-part response with cited sources and supports multi-turn follow-up questions. It launched in the US in May 2025 and has been expanding globally since.
How is this different from checking AI Overviews? ▾
AI Overviews appear automatically in standard Google search results for certain queries. Google AI Mode is a separate dedicated tab that users access intentionally — it produces longer, more detailed responses and cites more sources. This tool checks Google AI Mode specifically, not AI Overviews. For standard Google results including AI Overviews, see our Google SERP Checker.
Where is Google AI Mode available? ▾
As of July 2026, Google AI Mode is live in the United States, United Kingdom, India, and Japan, with ongoing global expansion. If you check a location where AI Mode isn't yet available, this tool returns an empty result and suggests switching to a supported location.
Why doesn't my site appear in the cited sources? ▾
Google AI Mode selects cited sources based on relevance, authority, and content quality for the specific query. If your domain isn't cited, the Cited Sources panel shows exactly which pages Google chose instead — these are your benchmarks. Improving E-E-A-T signals, adding original data, and creating clearer structured content are the primary levers.
Do desktop and mobile results differ? ▾
Yes — Google AI Mode can return different responses and different cited sources for the same keyword on desktop vs mobile. Mobile responses tend to be more concise. We recommend checking both if your audience is mixed-device. Use the Device toggle to switch.
How often does Google AI Mode update its responses? ▾
Google AI Mode generates responses dynamically. The same keyword can return different results as Google's underlying knowledge and retrieval changes. This tool always fetches a live response — use the 'View in Google AI Mode ↗' link to verify the result matches what you see in your own browser.
What is the Limit cost per check? ▾
1 Limit per check — one API call, one result. The full AI response, all cited sources, and the domain leaderboard are returned in a single check.
