Google AI Mode is Google's conversational search surface — separate from AI Overviews and Gemini chat. WriteWorks tracks every prompt across AI Mode, captures the cited URLs, and scores every draft against the signals AI Mode rewards when synthesising answers.

The challenge

Why brands stay invisible on AI Mode

The instrumentation gaps that stop teams from seeing AI Mode answers.

AI Mode is the newest Google surface and totally untracked

AI Mode behaves differently to organic SERP and AI Overviews, yet most teams treat them as the same surface.

AI Mode rewards conversational structure

Pages written for headline-and-meta SEO often miss the conversational structure AI Mode favours when summarising.

You can't see who AI Mode cites instead of you

Without per-prompt tracking, you don't know which competitor pages take the citation when yours doesn't.
