Frequently asked questions
What does this Google AI Mode Finance & Insurance report measure?
Which brands Google AI Mode names when buyers in Australia ask Finance & Insurance questions, and which websites it cites in those answers. It covers 3 Finance & Insurance markets and 1,200 buyer questions, each asked once, and sets Google AI Mode next to ChatGPT and Gemini on the same questions.
“Mention rate” — what does it mean?
The share of Google AI Mode’s answers to a market’s buyer questions that name the brand. Each question is asked once, and every rate carries a 95% range: when the ranges of two brands overlap, their ranks are not really different.
What does “market concentration” mean?
How much of all brand mentions in a market go to its three most-named brands. When the top three hold most of the mentions, the market is highly concentrated and hard to break into; when mentions are spread over dozens of brands, it is open.
Which Finance & Insurance markets are included?
3 AU markets measured on Google AI Mode: Tax Preparation & Accounting Services, Mortgage & Home Financing Services and Wealth Management & Financial Advice. Each market has its own question set, its own brands and its own ranking.
Why are only 20 brands shown per market?
Radar publishes the top 20 brands of each engine in each market. A brand missing from a table here can still be named by Google AI Mode — just below its top 20.
What counts as a citation?
A link to a website that Google AI Mode shows as a source in its answer. We count every cited URL and group them by domain.
Why can Google AI Mode mention a brand without citing its website?
Naming a brand and citing a source are separate. Google AI Mode often recommends a brand while linking to a publisher, a retailer or an association that wrote about it. That is why the brand ranking and the sources table can tell different stories.
Will I get the same answers if I ask Google AI Mode these questions myself?
Not word for word. Answers vary between runs, accounts and locations, which is why every question is asked once and the results are read as rates with a 95% range. A single answer you get yourself is one sample from the same spread.
