Mosaic SearchBETA
Crowdsourced SERP intelligence

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.

The problem

Traditional rank trackers are lying to you

Every popular rank tracker sends bots to query Google from data centers. Google knows this and adjusts what it shows them. Meanwhile, your actual customers are seeing a completely different SERP, full of AI Overviews, Featured Snippets, shopping ads, and Map Packs that the bots never see.

And even when they do capture position data, "rank 3" is meaningless if there are four paid ads, an AI Overview, and a shopping carousel pushing organic results off the screen.

Rank trackers query Google from data-center IPs that trigger personalized or sanitized results
Simulated searches miss Map Packs, Featured Snippets, AI Overviews, and shopping ads entirely
Position 1 means nothing if four paid ads, an AI Overview, and a shopping carousel appear above it
City-level local rankings are not reproducible from a single IP address
You have no idea how often the SERP layout itself changes for a given keyword

How it works

Real searches. Real data. Zero guesswork.

01

Install the extension

The free Mosaic Search Chrome extension sits silently in your browser. No setup required beyond connecting it to your account.

02

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.

03

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.

Complete coverage

What you get

Built for the modern SERP

Full SERP snapshot

Captures every section Google displays, not just organic blue links. 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. Track when they appear, for which queries, and how they affect organic visibility.

Volatility analysis

See how often a domain appears and what positions it bounces between. Appearance rate tells you more than average rank.

Crowdsourced data

Data captured from real users bypasses bot detection, personalization bubbles, and data center IP biases that cripple traditional trackers.

Privacy-safe collection

The extension uses a one-way anonymous account hash. Your Google identity is never transmitted or stored.

Live keyword queue

Nominate keywords you care about. The community builds observation counts so every keyword gets enough data to be meaningful.

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.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. The Chrome extension is completely free to download and use. There is no cost to contribute captures to the data pool.

No. The extension only captures SERPs for keywords in the Mosaic Search queue. It ignores all other searches entirely. Your Google identity is never transmitted. Captures are linked to a one-way anonymous hash that cannot be reversed.

The extension reads the visible SERP structure: organic result domains and positions, any Map Pack listings, AI Overviews, Featured Snippets, People Also Ask boxes, ads, shopping carousels, and the order these sections appear on the page. No personal account data, no cookies, no browsing history.

Traditional rank trackers send bots to query Google from data centers. Google detects these and serves sanitized results that omit Map Packs, AI Overviews, and local variations. Mosaic Search data comes from real users doing real searches, so it reflects exactly what your customers see, including every SERP section and city-level differences.

We recommend at least 10 unique captures across different users and cities before drawing conclusions. The keyword queue shows a progress bar so you can see how close each term is to that threshold.

Yes. Any logged-in user can submit keywords to the queue via the Keywords page. Once submitted, the keyword becomes available for the community to capture.

SERP data is aggregated and shared across all Mosaic Search users. Individual captures are anonymised before storage, and no user can see another user's raw capture history.

Mosaic Search captures location from your browser's reported city whenever Google exposes it in the SERP. You can also set a manual location override in the extension popup to tag captures with a specific market if your browser location doesn't reflect it.

Stop guessing. Start seeing.
