Frequently Asked Questions

What is Google AI Mode?

Google AI Mode is a dedicated AI-powered search experience that generates a conversational, synthesised response to a query rather than returning a traditional list of blue links. It pulls from across the web and cites the sources it draws on - making citation visibility a core SEO concern for brands that have historically relied on organic search rankings.

What is a Google AI Overview?

AI Overviews (previously called Search Generative Experience, or SGE) are the AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of standard Google search results pages. They're triggered for a broad range of informational queries and include citations to the sources Google's AI has drawn on. Getting cited in an AI Overview can drive meaningful traffic - and being absent while a competitor is cited can quietly erode your position.

How does Archytas AISpy track Google AI Mode and AI Overviews?

Archytas AISpy queries Google using your tracked prompts and captures the AI-generated response along with any cited sources. It records which domains are cited, how the response is framed, and how that changes over time - giving you a longitudinal view of your AI visibility that a one-off manual check cannot.

Is tracking Google AI Mode different from tracking other LLMs?

Yes and no. Google AI Mode and AI Overviews are grounded in live web results, so citation behaviour is closely tied to what's ranking in traditional search. Other LLMs like ChatGPT or Gemini draw from a mix of training data and web search depending on their configuration. Archytas AISpy treats each as a distinct visibility channel and tracks them separately, so you can compare and contrast.

What can I do with AI Mode citation data?

You can identify content gaps where competitors are cited and you are not, find PR and link-building targets among domains that appear alongside you, track whether content updates or new pages shift your citation frequency, and monitor the overall competitive landscape as Google's AI search behaviour evolves.

Do I need a Google API key to track AI Overviews?

Yes. Archytas AISpy uses your own API credentials to query Google's AI systems. This keeps your tracking costs transparent and under your control - there are no hidden per-query charges from Archytas. You can find setup instructions in the documentation once you've downloaded the app.

How is Google AI Mode different from Google AI Overviews?

AI Mode is the LLM-like interface found in the Google Search main menu, while AI Overviews are the answers generated at the top of the traditional keyword search. Google is increasingly starting to integrate the two, but for now, they are separate.

Can I see how frequently my site is cited in Google AI Mode compared to other domains?

Yes. AISpy captures everyone who is cited for your prompts and benchmarks both the domains and URLs over time. So you can both see how you benchmark against competitors, as well as identify other sites who are entering your space, whether they be emergent competitors or potential partners.
