At a glance
What we observed in this category
OnBoard leads the AI board portal software category with a composite score of 66.2, well ahead of second-placed Board Intelligence at 53.8. The gap widens further down the table: Boardable scores 20.0 and Convene 17.5, while six of the top ten brands score zero. The category average visibility sits at just 8.8%, meaning the top two brands are capturing a disproportionate share of AI surface area and leaving almost no room for brands ranked four and below.
Diligent Boards presents the sharpest divergence between visibility and citation in the category. Its visibility is only 25%, yet its citation rate is 87.5%, the highest of any brand audited. Convene shows the opposite pattern: 25% visibility but a 0% citation rate, meaning Google AI Mode mentions it without linking to it. BoardPro is cited 25% of the time despite zero visibility, confirming that citation and named appearance are measured and rewarded separately by the engine.
Every brand in the audit records Google AI Mode as its top engine, confirming this engine is the sole driver of AI visibility in the category. The top cited sources list includes diligent.com, onboardmeetings.com, and boardintelligence.com alongside third-party domains such as g2.com, imboard.ai, and youtube.com. The presence of review and aggregator content in that source list suggests Google AI Mode is anchoring its category responses on a blend of vendor sites and independent review or comparison platforms.

How to read this AEO 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. More on visibility →
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. More on citation rate →
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. How AI engines pick sources →
AEO 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 90 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
