Google AI Mode is part of Google Search's integrated AI assistance experience, generating conversational responses, recommendations, and explanations directly within search. Local Falcon's Google AI Mode visibility tracking helps you understand whether your business appears in these AI-powered suggestions — and how often competitors show up instead.
