Google AI Mode Rank Tracker

Track your brand's visibility in Google AI Mode

Add the searches your buyers run and Mencoro checks them in AI Mode on a schedule. For every query you see whether your brand is named, where in the answer it appears and how it is described, so the gaps are a list of queries to work on, not a guess.

Find the sources AI Mode builds its answers from

AI Mode cites the pages it used. Mencoro records every source, marks your own domains and ranks the third-party sites that feed answers in your market, from marketplaces and directories to the social profiles Google's AI cites far more often than ChatGPT does.

AI Mode and AI Overviews are both Google, but they do not answer the same way. Mencoro tracks AI Mode, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and the classic results in one project, so you can see where you are covered and where a competitor takes the answer.

How Google AI Mode tracking works in Mencoro

The AI Mode tracker asks Google AI Mode the same prompts on a schedule, records every brand and source in each answer, and turns them into figures you can compare over time.

  1. Add your brand and competitors. One project is one brand: its names and domains, plus as many competitors as you need, each with its own names and domains.
  2. Pick your AI Mode prompts and countries. Write the questions your buyers ask or generate suggestions, and group them by topic. Each prompt runs in Google AI Mode localized to every country you choose (up to 196, each in its main language).
  3. Choose how often to check. Daily, weekly or monthly, per prompt, with 1 to 3 passes per check to smooth out answers that vary. Every hour Mencoro runs the checks that are due, and the results become daily figures shortly after.
  4. Read the gaps and act on them. See the prompts where a competitor is named and you are not, the sources AI Mode trusts in your market, and how your position moves. Read it in the app, through the REST API or in your AI assistant with the MCP server.

Every formula is public on the methodology page, and the rank tracker API and MCP server give you the same data outside the app.

What the AI Mode tracker measures

Metric What it tells you
Coverage (mention rate) How often AI Mode names your brand across your tracked prompts.
Mention position Where you are first named among the brands in each answer, 1 being the first.
Link position Where your first page appears in the list of sources AI Mode cites.
Favorability Whether AI Mode talks about you in a positive, neutral or negative tone.
Share of voice Your share of weighted mentions and links against your tracked competitors.
Stability How much your position moves from day to day.
Mention type Whether AI Mode recommends you, compares you, lists you, uses you as an example or only references you.
Cited sources Every page AI Mode cites for your prompts, yours and third-party.

Each answer also lists the untracked competitors AI Mode names, so you find rivals you were not watching. Read more on share of voice, AI citations and brand sentiment in AI.

What AI Mode rank tracking costs

Mencoro charges for the checks you run, not per seat or per engine. A check is one prompt on one engine in one country, so the price follows how many prompts you track and how often. Two examples for AI Mode alone, in one country with one pass:

  • 50 prompts checked weekly: 200 checks a month, the €15 tier.
  • 30 prompts checked daily: 900 checks a month, the €49 tier.

Prices include VAT, every tier includes every engine, unlimited projects and competitors and multi-user access, and you can cancel any time. Annual billing is cheaper. Size your own volume on the pricing page.

FAQ

Google AI Mode tracking questions

Common questions about tracking your
brand's visibility in AI Mode.

A tool that runs a fixed set of searches in Google AI Mode on a schedule and records whether your brand is named, where in the answer, how it is described and which sources are cited. Mencoro turns those answers into mention rate, position, sentiment and share of voice.
Searching by hand works for a spot check, but AI Mode answers change from one day to the next. To track it, add the prompts your buyers use and your competitors to an AI Mode rank tracker, run them on a schedule and read the trend: how often you are named, in what position, and who is named instead.
For a first look, yes. Mencoro's free AI Mode checker shows what Google AI Mode answers for up to five searches, whether it cites your site and which sites it cites instead, with no sign-up, limited to five checks a day. Ongoing tracking, with history, competitors and every metric, is part of the paid plans.
You pay for the checks you run, from €15 a month for up to 200 checks to €799 for up to 25,000, VAT included, with no setup fee or contract. For example, 50 prompts checked weekly in AI Mode in one country use 200 checks a month, the €15 tier. Every tier includes every engine, unlimited projects and competitors, and multi-user access.
AI Overviews is a summary shown above the classic results for some searches; AI Mode is a separate conversational tab where a Gemini model answers the whole query and keeps the context for follow-ups. They often cite different sources, so a brand can appear in one and not the other.
Not always. AI Mode runs several related searches before it answers (query fan-out) and picks its own sources, which are not always the top organic results. Mencoro tracks your top 10 Google positions in the same project, so you can see where you rank but AI Mode cites someone else.
AI Mode has no fixed ranking: it names a few brands and cites the pages it used. To appear more often, answer the question directly on your own pages, get listed on the third-party pages it already cites for your searches, such as comparisons, reviews, directories and marketplaces, and keep your brand facts consistent everywhere. Then track the same prompts to see whether the share of answers that name you goes up.
AI Mode answers vary from day to day, so a single check is a snapshot. Daily checks suit your most valuable prompts and weekly checks the long tail. Running 2 or 3 passes per check averages out answers that vary, giving a steadier figure.
Yes. Each prompt runs in the countries you choose, in each country's main language, so you can track AI Mode in Spain, the UK or the United States side by side. Location is set by country, with no city or device targeting. Google does not offer AI Mode in France or Cuba, so those checks return no answer.
In Mencoro's study of AI citations in Spain, AI Mode cited 6.8 sources per answer, 76.7% of them company websites. Instagram was the domain cited for the most brands, and Google's AI engines cited social networks far more often than ChatGPT.
Google counts clicks from AI Mode inside Search Console's web search data without a separate filter, so you cannot isolate it there. Tracking the answers themselves is the way to see whether AI Mode names you.
Yes. Every AI Mode result is available through Mencoro's REST API, and the MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor read your AI Mode visibility directly.
Yes. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews and the classic Google results are tracked in the same project, each separately.
