## What it means for your ad account

A person who keeps asking AI Mode questions can now see your ad several turns in, closer to a decision. Google has already put [ads in AI Mode in India](/news/google-ads-in-ai-mode-india-pakistan), so Indian searches may get these too, but Google has not said so.

## What to do this week

1. **Read what [AI Mode](/glossary/ai-mode-google) is** and which campaigns can show there.
2. **Ask AI Mode a buying question** in your category, then two follow-ups, and note the ads you see.
3. **Check your search terms report** for longer, question-style searches.
4. **Make landing pages answer specific questions,** since follow-ups are narrower.
5. **Track AI Mode clicks** separately if your reports start to show them.
