Google AI Mode: What It Means for SEO
AI Mode replaces the results page entirely. Here's what it means for organic traffic and what to do now...
Get clean, ad-free Google search results without AI interference
I built this tool after getting fed up with how cluttered Google had become — ads at the top, AI summaries I didn't ask for, shopping blocks pushing real results halfway down the page. Add &udm=14 to any Google search URL and you get the old Google back: ten blue links, ranked by relevance. This site does it for you automatically.
&udm=14?
&udm=14 is a URL parameter you can append to any Google Search to force Google to return pure organic web results — no ads, no AI Overviews, no shopping blocks, no featured snippets, and no other SERP clutter. It's the closest thing to "classic Google" that still exists.
The udm part stands for Unified Display Mode, an internal Google system that controls which result modules appear on the search results page. Each value of udm switches the page to a different display mode. For example, udm=7 shows a custom site search, and udm=2 filters to image results. Setting it to 14 tells Google to show only the standard ten blue links — the organic results ranked by Google's algorithm, nothing else.
&udm=14
Just add &udm=14 to the end of any Google Search URL. For example:
https://www.google.com/search?q=best+running+shoes&udm=14
Or simply use the search box above — it automatically appends &udm=14 to your query so you don't have to think about it. You can also toggle between organic-only mode and normal search using the radio buttons.
Google's search results have become increasingly cluttered over the years — ads, AI summaries, shopping modules, and SERP features can push the actual organic results far down the page. &udm=14 gives you a way to cut through all of that and see the web the way Google's algorithm actually ranks it: clean, unbiased, and focused on real content written by real people.

udm=14?A URL parameter Google quietly supports that strips everything back to organic results only. No ads, no AI summaries, no shopping carousels — just the pages Google's algorithm actually ranks. Try it on Google and see the difference for yourself.
I was tired of scrolling past sponsored results and AI-generated answers to find what I actually searched for. Turns out, plenty of researchers, journalists, and SEO professionals felt the same way — so I wrapped the parameter into a simple tool anyone can use.
