Google’s AI Mode has officially launched in Australia.
This new feature brings a more conversational experience to search, where users get instant summaries, product comparisons, and brand mentions – often without clicking through to a website.
That means we’re entering the era of zero-click marketing.
It’s no longer just about ranking for clicks. It’s about making sure your brand appears as a trusted citation in AI answers, local listings, and customer research tools.
If your brand is visible and credible – even without the click to your website – you’re still part of the conversation, customer journey and on track to win more business.
We’ve updated our guide: Google’s AI Mode: Get Seen in the New Search
