At a glance
What we observed in this category
Teleperformance leads the contact center outsourcing category with 50.0% visibility, nearly 12.5 percentage points clear of second-placed Concentrix at 37.5%. That gap is significant because the category average visibility sits at just 5.6%, meaning both leaders are far outliers while the remaining 18 brands cluster near zero. Teleperformance also recorded the largest single-period visibility gain, rising from 12.5% to 50.0%, a delta of 37.5 points, reinforcing its dominance in how Google AI Mode describes this category.
A notable divergence exists between visibility and citation across all top brands. Teleperformance and Concentrix each hold 0.0% citation despite their high visibility scores, meaning Google AI Mode names them frequently but does not link out to their domains as sources. ResultsCX and iQor show the inverse pattern, with 0.0% visibility but 12.5% citation each, indicating the AI references their content as a source without naming them as recommended vendors in responses.
The top cited sources in this category are not the brands themselves. Domains such as shyftoff.com, ever-help.com, hugoinc.com, and outsource-consultants.com anchor the AI responses as reference material, while all ten ranked brands show 0.0% citation or close to it. Google AI Mode is the sole engine driving scores across all 20 brands in this dataset, and there is no evidence of meaningful visibility on alternative engines, making Google AI Mode the single point of leverage for this entire category.

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 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
