Keywords: Google AI Mode, Gemini 2.5, AI Overviews, Deep Search, Project Astra

What is AI Mode?

Google’s “AI Mode” uses Gemini 2.5 to power conversational search results, replacing standard SERP snippets with contextual, generative answers.

Project Astra & Visual Queries

With camera queries from Project Astra, users can now scan real-world objects to get visual search results—turning smartphones into intelligent assistants.

Immersive AI Overviews

“AI Overviews” summarize web results in rich, concise formats, while Deep Search dives deeper—even into paywalled content (based on publisher partnerships).

SEO and GEO Implications

As generative answers dominate SERPs, prioritizing **Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)** becomes essential—structured content, schema markup, and concise context are key.

Conclusion

Google AI Mode is a game-changer. Marketers and SEO pros must evolve to meet a future where answers come from intelligence, not just links.
