Since 31 August 2026, AI Mode no longer links publishers at all (99.96% of citations are now Google searchviewer wrappers), and Sponsored ads enter AI Mode in late September 2026. Here is what the data means for hotels, tour operators and DMCs — and the Google Business Profile playbook to win the click that Google routes your way.
