See who Google AI Mode cites

AI Mode is Google’s conversational search surface. This tracker runs one live query, waits for the answer, and lists the sources Google ai mode grounded in the response.

  • AI Mode, not the SERP block

    This checks google.com/aimode, not the AI Overview on a classic results page. Use the AI Overview Tracker for that surface.

  • Citations from query fan-out

    AI Mode retrieves passages across related sub-queries. The snapshot shows the final answer and which URLs made the source list.

  • Live scrape, then batches

    One query uses @olostep/google-aimode-results. Keyword lists and recurring checks belong on GEO batches.

How it works

Each tool is designed around a direct job: provide the input, get a useful output, and move it into your workflow.

  • 1

    Enter a query

    Add an optional brand and domain so the tracker can flag mentions and citations.

  • 2

    Olostep queries Google AI Mode

    The scrape waits for the answer to finish — often 30 to 90 seconds — then returns structured JSON.

  • 3

    Review sources and copy JSON

    See the synthesized answer, citation rank when your domain appears, and the full source list.

Built for practical workflows

These tools are small on purpose: they solve the conversion job quickly, then point teams toward the API path when the workflow becomes recurring or high volume.

  • AI Mode visibility checks

    Confirm whether a buyer question currently cites your site in Google AI Mode before you change a page.

  • Citation gap reviews

    See which third-party URLs AI Mode cites instead of yours and where those pages sit in the source list.

  • Compare with AI Overviews

    Run the same query on the AI Overview Tracker to see how the SERP block and AI Mode diverge.

Frequently asked questions

Product & Capabilities

  • It queries Google AI Mode with a prompt and records the synthesized answer, cited URLs, and whether your brand is named or your domain is cited.

  • AI Overviews sit on a classic Google results page. AI Mode is the conversational google.com/aimode experience. They can cite different URLs for the same query.

  • No. This is a live, one-off snapshot. Search Console can mix AI Overview and AI Mode impressions and does not replay the generated answer.

Usage & Automation

  • The scrape waits for Google to finish generating the AI Mode answer, often 30 to 90 seconds, up to about two and a half minutes.

  • No. Each run is a live snapshot. For many keywords on a schedule, use Olostep GEO batches with @olostep/google-aimode-results.

  • Yes. Send https://www.google.com/aimode?q= URLs to the Batches API with the Google AI Mode parser. See the GEO batches example in the docs.

Pricing & Plans

  • The page UI is free to use. Live scrapes use the Olostep API configured for this site and are rate limited.

  • Standard scrapes are usage based. See Olostep pricing for the current plan details.

  • Olostep offers free credits for new users, so teams can test extraction before scaling.
