What you see

What Rankshift tracks in AI Mode

AI Mode answers a question in full, names a few brands and links to its sources. Rankshift records all three for every prompt you track, each time it runs.

  • Visibility

    The share of AI Mode answers that name your brand, per prompt and overall.

  • Position

    Where you appear among the brands in the answer: first, second or last.

  • Share of voice

    Your mentions as a share of all brand mentions, next to your competitors.

  • Citations

    The domains and URLs AI Mode links to, and how often your own site is one of them.

  • Sentiment

    Whether AI Mode describes you in positive, neutral or negative terms.

  • Countries and languages

    Each prompt tracked in the countries and languages you sell in.

Prompts

How often AI Mode names you, prompt by prompt

Add the questions your buyers ask. Rankshift runs each one in Google AI Mode, stores the full answer and marks your brand and your competitors in it. You see where you are named and where you are missing.

  • Full answer stored for every run
  • Visibility per prompt and for the whole project
  • Filter by persona, scenario or tag
Tracking over time

One answer is not a measurement

Ask AI Mode the same question twice and the brands can change. Rankshift repeats every prompt on the schedule you set and reports visibility as a share of all runs, so one lucky or unlucky answer does not decide your number.

  • Daily or weekly runs, set per prompt
  • History per brand, prompt and model
  • Unlimited countries and languages
Competitors

Which competitors AI Mode names next to you

Add your competitors and Rankshift counts them in the same answers. You get visibility and share of voice per brand, plus the position of each brand in the answer, so you know who AI Mode puts first.

  • Visibility, share of voice and sentiment per brand
  • Position of each brand in the answer
  • Compared on every prompt you track
Citations

Which sources AI Mode cites

AI Mode searches the web before it answers and links the pages it used. Rankshift lists every cited domain and URL on your prompts and shows how often your own site is among them. Mentions and citations are counted separately, because AI Mode can name you without linking to you.

  • Cited domains and URLs, ranked by frequency
  • Your own citation rate next to competitors
  • Videos, forum threads and review sites where you are missing
Across models

AI Mode next to AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini

Google answers with AI in two places: AI Overviews above the search results and AI Mode, its conversational search. Rankshift tracks them as separate models and runs the same prompts on both, and on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and others, so you can see where your brand is strong and where it falls behind.

  • Visibility and citation rate per model
  • The same prompt set on every model you select
  • Nine AI models, including AI Overviews and Gemini
Action Center

Actions based on what AI Mode says and cites

Tracking shows where you stand. The Action Center turns what Rankshift finds in the answers into tasks: a page to update, a publication to pitch, a comparison article to get listed in. Each task is tied to the prompts and sources behind it and lands on a board your team can work through.

  • Prioritized by expected impact on your visibility
  • Based on the answers and sources from your prompts
  • One board for outreach, page updates and community replies

FAQ

Questions about AI Mode tracking

What is a Google AI Mode visibility tracker?

A Google AI Mode visibility tracker runs a fixed set of prompts in AI Mode on a schedule and records the answers. From those answers it reports how often your brand is named, where it sits in the answer, which sources are cited and how you compare with competitors.

How does Rankshift collect AI Mode answers?

Rankshift runs your prompts in Google AI Mode and stores the full answer with its sources. From each answer it records mentions, citations, sentiment and share of voice, for your brand and your competitors. You choose how often each prompt runs, daily or weekly.

Why does AI Mode give different answers to the same question?

AI Mode breaks a question into several searches and writes a new answer each time, so the brands and sources can change from one run to the next. That is why Rankshift reports visibility as a share of all runs. One check tells you very little.

What is the difference between AI Mode and AI Overviews?

AI Overviews are short summaries that Google shows above the regular results for some searches. AI Mode is a separate conversational tab in Google Search: you ask a question, get a full answer and can follow up. The brands and sources can differ between the two, so Rankshift tracks them as separate models.

What is the difference between a mention and a citation?

A mention is your brand name in the answer text. A citation is a link to a page that AI Mode used as a source. You can have one without the other, so Rankshift tracks them separately.

Which other AI models can I track?

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and Mistral. The same prompts can run on each model, so you can compare your visibility in AI Mode with the rest.

How do I improve my visibility in AI Mode?

Start with the sources. AI Mode builds its answers from pages it finds on the web, so look at which domains it cites on your prompts and where competitors are listed and you are missing. Then update your own pages so they answer the prompt directly. The Action Center turns these findings into specific tasks, ranked by expected impact.
