What does Google actually show your customers?
Mosaic Search captures the complete Google SERP, every section, every position, every city, directly from real users. Not bots. Not data-center IPs. Real searches.
Each tile represents a SERP data point captured from a real search
The problem
Traditional rank trackers are lying to you
Every popular rank tracker sends bots from data center IPs. Google knows this and adjusts what it shows them. Your customers see a completely different SERP (AI Overviews, Map Packs, shopping carousels, LSA ads) that the bots never see.
And even when they do capture position data, "rank 3" is meaningless if four paid ads, an AI Overview, and a Map Pack are pushing your result below the fold where no one scrolls.
The number your rank tracker reports and the reality your customers experience are two completely different things.

The solution
Stop tracking rank. Start tracking visibility.
Mosaic Search aggregates hundreds of real SERP captures for the same keyword, then tells you which sections appear most often and how frequently your domain shows up in each one. That is where your business actually gets seen.
Aggregate across real layouts
Every capture is a real user's real Google result. We pool them so you see the statistical truth across dozens of unique SERP layouts for the same keyword, not a single bot query from a data center.
Section frequency, not just position
For your keyword, the Map Pack appears 84% of the time. AI Overview 61%. Four paid ads 90%. Your organic result, no matter what position it is, sits below all of that. Now you know.
Know where to actually compete
If the Map Pack dominates the top of the SERP for your keyword, that is where visibility lives. See which sections own the page and make decisions about where your effort actually moves the needle.
A rank number tells you where you are in one slice of the SERP.
Mosaic Search tells you how often your slice even exists, what is above it, and how many real searches your result was actually visible in.
How it works
Real searches. Real data. Zero guesswork.
Install the extension
The free Mosaic Search Chrome extension sits silently in your browser. No setup required beyond connecting it to your account.
Search Google normally
Every time you or your team searches a tracked keyword on Google, the extension captures the complete SERP and sends it to Mosaic Search.
We aggregate the truth
Results from real users across real cities build a dataset no bot could fake. See rankings, layout shifts, and SERP composition over time.
The dashboard
Track keywords. Monitor domains.
Two purpose-built tools that turn raw captures into actionable intelligence.
Keyword tracking
Add any keyword to the queue from the Keywords page. As you and others search it on Google, the Mosaic Search extension automatically captures and contributes SERP data. Every keyword gets a full analysis page showing:
- Map Pack rate: how often a local 3-pack appears
- AI Overview rate and captured excerpts
- LSA, paid ad, and organic result frequencies
- Top-ranking domains with avg position and appearance rate
- SERP layout history: see every unique section order that has appeared
- Knowledge Panel captures for branded searches
Domain tracking
Add any website domain from the Tracking tab on the Keywords page. Mosaic Search pulls together every observation where that domain appeared in organic results, and gives you a dedicated profile page showing:
- Overall appearance rate across all captured SERPs
- Average position, best position, and position distribution
- Per-keyword breakdown: which terms is it ranking for?
- Keyword-level appearance rate with visual progress bars
- Best-performing title and displayed link per keyword
- Works for your own domain and any competitor
Complete coverage
Every SERP section. Every time.
Most tools only track organic results. We capture the full page, because the full page is what your customer actually sees.
Plus a catch-all for any new SERP section Google rolls out.

Search: plumber near me
The SERP layout shifts with every search. We track every variation.
What you get
Built for the modern SERP
Full SERP snapshot
Captures every section Google displays: organic, ads, Map Pack, LSA, AI Overviews, Knowledge Panels, PAA, shopping carousels. If it was on the page, it is in the data.
Hyper-local by city
Results are tagged by the city they were captured in. See exactly who ranks in Miami vs. Chicago vs. Seattle for the same keyword.
Section order tracking
Know whether a Featured Snippet appeared before or after the Map Pack. SERP layout is as important as rank position.
AI Overview detection
AI Overviews are reshaping the top of the SERP. The extension automatically detects them and prompts you to expand and capture the full text with one click.
Knowledge Panel tracking
When a branded or entity search triggers a Knowledge Panel on the right rail, we capture the full card: name, category, description, rating, address, hours, and source.
Domain tracking
Add any domain and see its appearance rate, avg position, and best position across all your tracked keywords in one profile page.
Keyword tracking queue
Nominate keywords from the Keywords page. The community builds capture counts so every term gets enough observations to surface real patterns.
Volatility analysis
See how often a domain appears and what positions it bounces between. Appearance rate tells you more than a single average rank.
Crowdsourced data
Data captured from real users bypasses bot detection, personalization bubbles, and data center IP biases that cripple traditional rank trackers.
Privacy-safe collection
The extension uses a one-way anonymous account hash. Your Google identity is never transmitted or stored.
Why it matters
The SERP is a layout, not a list
Google has turned the results page into a complex composition of blocks. A Featured Snippet above the Map Pack above organic is a very different competitive environment than organic results with nothing above them.
AI Overviews are now answering questions before any organic result appears. If your keyword triggers one, knowing you rank number 2 is nearly irrelevant.
Mosaic Search tracks what actually appears, and in what order, so you can make decisions based on the real competitive landscape.
