What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Cohen Handler leads the Brisbane buyer's agent category with a composite score of 16.2, meaningfully ahead of the next tier sitting at 12.5. The gap matters because Cohen Handler is the only brand converting named mentions into citations at a 25% citation rate, double its visibility rate of 12.5%. Five brands share identical visibility scores of 12.5%, so the composite score gap is driven entirely by citation performance, not raw presence. The remaining 15 brands in the 20-brand field score zero across all metrics.
A sharp divergence exists between being named and being trusted as a source. InvestorKit and PMC Property Buyers each achieve 12.5% visibility, matching the top-ranked brands, yet both record 0% citation rates, giving them composite scores of 8.8 versus 12.5 for Propertybuyer and Streamline Property Buyers. This means Google AI Mode surfaces these brands in responses but does not anchor them as reference sources, a meaningful distinction for authority signalling in this category.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all 20 brands in this audit, with no other engine recorded as a top performer for any brand. The cited sources list reveals AI is anchoring on third-party aggregators and community platforms, including google.com, reddit.com, youtube.com, and top10realestateagent.com.au, alongside only three brand-owned domains: cohenhandler.com.au, propertybuyer.com.au, and streamlineproperty.com.au. This confirms that most brands in the category are absent from both the named and sourced layers of AI responses.

Sources AI engines trust in this category

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.
