What sets AI Mode apart from AI Overviews?
AI Mode is a conversational mode with query fan-out; Overviews are the boxes above the results. Bikma monitors them separately.
How can I monitor visibility in Google AI Mode?
Integration

How Bikma monitors it

Why monitor Google AI Mode
Google AI Mode, announced in March 2025 and broadly rolled out from Google I/O in May 2025, is a conversational search tab built on a Gemini model: it breaks the question into sub-searches (query fan-out) and returns a single answer with its sources. Google points to it as the direction search is taking, so holding ground there early is an advantage.

Google AI Mode is among Bikma's four standard models: on Scout and Teams you pick 3 of them, while the top plans (Partner for agencies, Corporate for brands) include every model.
