Composite score: 70% visibility (% of AI answers naming the brand) + 30% citation rate (% citing the brand's domain). Full methodology →

What we observed in this categoryauto-generated

Verify leads the ad verification software category with a visibility score of 50.0%, nearly 13 points ahead of second-placed DoubleVerify at 37.5%. That gap is significant given the category average sits at just 8.3%, meaning both brands are outperforming the field by a wide margin. Eight of the 18 tracked brands, including Oracle Advertising, HUMAN Security, and Pixalate, register zero visibility, confirming that AI-generated responses in this category are highly concentrated at the top.

The sharpest divergence between visibility and citation belongs to Verify and DoubleVerify, both of which carry 0.0% citation rates despite their high visibility scores. Integral Ad Science is the only brand in the top five that earns any citation credit, matching its 25.0% visibility with a 25.0% citation rate. This makes Integral Ad Science uniquely trusted in the data, while Verify and DoubleVerify are named frequently but not sourced, a meaningful distinction for brands trying to build authority rather than just mentions.

Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all tracked brands, with every brand in the dataset listing it as their top engine. Among cited sources, gartner.com appears first, followed by youtube.com, worldmetrics.org, and 6sense.com. Notably, integralads.com itself appears in the cited sources list, suggesting Integral Ad Science's own domain is being pulled directly as a reference, which helps explain why it is the sole brand achieving a non-zero citation rate in this category.

The ranking

#	Brand	Visibility	Citation	Top engine
1	Verify verifydsp.com	50%	0%	Google AI Mode
Verify holds the top spot with 50.0% visibility, more than six times the 8.3% category average, but its 0.0% citation rate means AI responses name it without sourcing it.
2	DoubleVerify doubleverify.com	38%	0%	Google AI Mode
DoubleVerify reaches 37.5% visibility, well above the category average, yet like Verify it earns zero citations, indicating AI surfaces it by name but draws on no direct domain references.
3	Integral Ad Science integralads.com	25%	25%	Google AI Mode
Integral Ad Science is the only top-five brand with a matching 25.0% visibility and 25.0% citation rate, and its own domain appears in the top cited sources list for this category.
4	Adloox adloox.com	25%	0%	Google AI Mode
Adloox matches Integral Ad Science on visibility at 25.0% but records 0.0% citations, giving it a composite score of 17.5 compared to Integral Ad Science's 25.0.
5	CHEQ cheq.ai	12%	0%	Google AI Mode
CHEQ sits at 12.5% visibility and 0.0% citations, above the 8.3% category average but trailing the top four brands by a substantial margin in both visibility and composite score.

How to read this ranking

Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.

Visibility = being named

A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer.

Citation rate = being trusted

Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence — different from being named.

Top engine differs by brand

The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps.

Rankings move month to month

AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically.
