What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Cohen Handler holds a 25% visibility score and a 25% citation rate, placing it entirely alone at the top of the Perth buyer's agent category in Google AI Mode. The category average visibility sits at just 1.2%, meaning Cohen Handler outperforms the field by a factor of roughly 20. This gap is not marginal. It reflects a near-total concentration of AI recognition in a single brand, with every other ranked brand registering zero visibility in the current audit period.
Your Empire presents the most striking divergence between visibility and citation in this dataset. It holds a 12.5% citation rate despite recording zero visibility, producing a composite score of only 3.8. This pattern suggests Google AI Mode references Your Empire as a supporting source in responses without actively surfacing it as a named recommendation. The remaining 18 brands, including Propertybuyer, Metropole, and Empower Wealth, show zero on both metrics, indicating they are neither named nor cited.
The top cited sources listed in the audit include top10realestateagent.com.au, youtube.com, google.com, and reddit.com, sitting above most brand domains. Only cohenhandler.com.au and two smaller agency domains, vervebuyersagency.com and youandmepps.com.au, appear as brand-level citations. This signals that Google AI Mode is anchoring its Perth buyer's agent responses heavily on third-party aggregators and community platforms rather than individual agency websites.

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.
