Google AI Mode is now the third engine Shruwd measures, beside Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT. Every plan gets it, the free one included, at the same price.
What changes
- Each measurement asks your prompts on AI Mode too. It has its own tab next to AI
Overviews on the overview, prompts and competitors pages, and the API and the MCP
server take
engine=google_ai_mode. - AI Mode's numbers start now, with no backfill. Until it has ten answers, its metrics show as insufficient data, never as zero.
- Findings read its answers and the pages it cites, as they do for the other engines.
Rechecks of earlier fixes
A fix marked applied before AI Mode had a full 30-day baseline is judged on the engines it was measured against, and the finding says AI Mode was left out. Comparing a new engine's answers with a baseline that never had them would read the new engine as your fix working. See rechecks.
