AI Mode gap checkWaiting for a domain

Enter your domain and a best-of search your buyers type. We ask Google and Google AI Mode the same search, then show who ranks, who AI Mode names and who it cites.

Why check

Page one is no seat in the answer.

We asked Google and Google AI Mode the same 10 “best software” searches in the United States on 9 November 2026. One run, so read it as a hint, not a study.

FAQ

AI Mode gaps, answered.

What does the AI Mode gap checker do?

It runs one search on Google and on Google AI Mode, in the United States. For each site in Google's top 10 it records whether AI Mode names the brand in its answer and whether it links to the site as a source.

What counts as named?

The brand from the site's domain appears in AI Mode's answer as a word, for example northwind-ai.com as "Northwind AI". A site can be named without a link, or linked without being named.

What counts as cited?

AI Mode lists a page from the site among the sources of its answer. Any subdomain counts: a blog or help center page counts for the main site.

Why would a page one result be left out?

AI Mode writes its own answer and picks its own sources. It leans on list articles, review pages and forums, so ranking well for a search is no promise of a place in the answer.

Who can see a shared result?

Anyone with the link, for 7 days. Shared results are not listed in search engines. After 7 days the link asks you to run the check again.

Is this the full check?

It is one search, once. AY Rank runs all your buyer questions in AI Mode, AI Overviews and four more AI engines every day, in your market, with a 7-day free trial.
