  • Addlly AI Qualified

    Named as a surface the platform gets you ranking in, but absent from the eight-engine scanning strip and from every engine-selection list, so tracking is not claimed.

  • Adobe Brand Visibility Yes

    Google AI Mode is selectable in the platform filter; release notes record market-by-market expansion of AI Mode tracking, for example Germany.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-12

  • AEO Engine Qualified

    AI Mode is never sold as tracked coverage; the vendor says its Google citation data may arrive through AI Mode paths depending on the provider, which is incidental rather than guaranteed.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-10

  • AEOlens Yes

    Google AI Mode is listed beside AI Overviews as a platform the tracked questions are asked on, on both the Solo and Growth plan cards.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-19

  • Aethon AI Qualified

    Google AI Mode is described as tracked "signals" alongside the four assistants on its own landing page, yet it appears in no plan feature list and the vendor's coverage answer elsewhere names only four platforms.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-08

  • Ahrefs Brand Radar Yes

    AI Mode is covered both as a prompt-based index and as a search-query index, which the vendor says exists only for AI Mode and AI Overviews because they surface inside Google Search.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-19

  • AIclicks Qualified

    Google AI Mode is listed among the monitored platforms and in the plan model menu, subject to the per-plan model slot limit.

    Source retrieved 2026-10-04

  • AI Search Watcher Yes

    Google AI Mode is listed separately from AI Overviews in the vendor's eight-engine inventory, so both Google surfaces are tracked.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-17

  • AI Visibility Audit Yes

    Google AI Mode, the AI panel inside Google search, is one of the three sources a Bright Data account unlocks, and it is the surface the vendor recommends for Polish-market targeting.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-16

  • Analyze AI Yes

    Google AI Mode ships in the entry Growth tier and has its own use-case page, despite being absent from the docs six-engine list.

    Tracked as a distinct surface alongside AI Overviews, again via DataForSEO credentials you supply, with its own citation and competitor views in the dashboards.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-13

  • AthenaHQ Qualified

    Google AI Mode is real but gated: the docs state it is disabled on the Free plan and needs a paid Starter or Enterprise subscription.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-20

  • auto-geo Qualified

    Same split as AI Overviews: the content standard is calibrated for Google AI Mode and pages carry a google_ai_mode target label, yet the measurement command cannot query that surface.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-12

  • Bloomiro Yes

    Google AI Mode appears as its own provider surface in the methodology table and is included in all three paid plans.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-21

    Source retrieved 2026-09-09

    Source retrieved 2026-09-11

  • CheckThat.ai Qualified

    Google AI Mode is named in the shared daily dataset and added by the GrowthOS AI Engine Visibility report, yet the workspace feature page says tracking is limited to four engines that exclude it.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-11

  • CisionOne AI Visibility Yes

    Google AI Mode is listed as a distinct supported surface alongside Google AI Overview, and the product page names it in its own meta description too.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-11

  • Citadex Qualified

    Google AI Mode appears only from the Pro tier's seven-engine bundle upward; the entry plan's four engines exclude it, and the same Pro card confusingly also lists AI Mode among its paid add-ons.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-13

    Google AI Mode is named in the FAQ engine list but only appears in the Enterprise column of the platform comparison.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-11

  • Evertune Yes

    Google AI Mode is tracked separately from AI Overviews, treated as a distinct conversational surface rather than a standalone model.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-12

  • Finseo Yes

    Google AI Mode has its own tracker page and is described as rolling out by market, so coverage depends on where the tab exists.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-08

  • Franixo Qualified

    Google AI Mode became a dedicated Search Surface in September 2026 and is entitled on Growth and Agency only, never on Starter.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-26

  • Frase Qualified

    Asserted as tracked with coverage scaling by plan, but the per-tier pricing table names only 'Google AI', never AI Mode.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-14

  • GEO Tool Qualified

    AI Mode is covered the same way as AI Overviews: the audit checks the page against Google's published guidance for it, while no live AI Mode measurement runs in the workspace.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-14

  • GetCito Qualified

    Google AI Mode appears only in the custom-quoted Enterprise coverage list; the two self-serve paid plans name four engines and AI Mode is not among them.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-25

  • getSichtbar Qualified

    Google AI Mode is named as a surface they work towards appearing in, but the measured set is five systems with AI Overviews as the Google one, so AI Mode is not reported separately.

    Source retrieved 2026-10-03

  • Go Fish Digital Yes

    AI Mode is treated as a first-class target, with query fan-out and passage-level optimisation described as the specific techniques used to get retrieved there.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-14

  • Knowatoa Yes

  • LLMrefs Yes

    Google AI Mode is tracked as its own engine alongside AI Overviews.

  • Local Dominator AI Tracker Yes

  • Local Falcon Yes

    Named in the tracked-platform list.

  • Meltwater GenAI Lens Yes

    Google AI mode is listed as a covered platform, but only as a list entry on the product page: no FAQ or prose sentence repeats it, and no tier detail is given.

  • Orchly Qualified

    Google AI Mode is tracked only as a chargeable add-on on both self-serve tiers; its comparison row reads Add-on for Essential and Pro and Custom for Enterprise.

    Google AI Mode is real and supported but is sold as a paid extra on top of every published plan, not included in the four base engines.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-29

  • Peak Answer Qualified

    The measurement description and the homepage hero name Google AI Mode, but the pricing page's engine row for the same six slots says Google AI Overviews instead, so the Google surface covered is stated inconsistently.

The population

121 listings in this index are Published. This is the population as of 2026-10-08. 121 of the 121 published listings in this index carry a settled answer for “Google AI Mode”. That row asks: Does it cover Google AI Mode, on the tier stated? Every listing in the index is settled on this row, so nothing is left out.

Findings

  1. 49 of the 121 settled listings answer “Yes” for “Google AI Mode”. That is 40% of the settled set.

  2. 25 of the 121 settled listings answer “Qualified” for “Google AI Mode”. That is 21% of the settled set.

  3. 43 of the 121 settled listings answer “No” for “Google AI Mode”. That is 36% of the settled set.

  4. 4 of the 121 settled listings answer “Not established” for “Google AI Mode”. That is 3% of the settled set.

1 of those yes answers is OMNIUS, which still answers yes for “Google AI Mode”. Its listing carries the stored answer and links to the source recorded for it. This is one worked example, not an independent audit of every source in the census.

What we counted, and how

Each figure above is a count over the “Google AI Mode” row of the listing datasheet, taken from the same stored answer the listing page renders. The denominator is the 121 listings whose answer is settled, meaning one of yes, qualified, no, does not apply, not established. On this row that is the whole index, because every listing has a recognised stored answer. Every number here is stored with the read-only query that reproduces it and re-run every sixty seconds against the live corpus, so a figure that stops reproducing surfaces as drift rather than as a stale sentence nobody notices. Our full method covers how a datasheet row is settled in the first place.

Limitations

This counts stored datasheet answers, not independently tested capabilities. A sourced answer can record a vendor statement or our reading of published evidence; this census does not re-fetch those sources. “Not established” means we have not established an answer. That can reflect vendor nondisclosure, blocked evidence, or unfinished research, not a no. An absent or unrecognised answer is excluded rather than treated as a researched finding. The figures are restated when the stored corpus changes; the date above is the count used for this published version, not a new verification of the vendors.
