At a glance
What we observed in this category
Spaces leads the London coworking category with 87.5% visibility, more than 37 percentage points above the second-ranked brand, Workspace, at 50.0%. That gap is substantial given the category average sits at just 12.5%. Despite holding rank one, Spaces carries a 0.0% citation rate, meaning Google AI Mode surfaces the brand by name frequently but does not anchor responses to its own domain as a source. Spaces also slipped from 100.0% to 87.5% visibility in the latest period, signalling early erosion at the top.
A notable divergence between visibility and citation appears across the top five brands. Mindspace sits at rank four with only 12.5% visibility, yet records the highest citation rate in the top five at 37.5%, giving it a stronger trust signal relative to its mention share than any brand above it. Uncommon shows the opposite pattern: it fell from 62.5% to 25.0% visibility while its citation rate rose by 12.5 points to 12.5%, suggesting the AI is referencing it more carefully even as it mentions it less often.
Every brand in the top ten lists Google AI Mode as its top engine, confirming this category is almost entirely a single-engine story. The top cited sources include third-party platforms such as reddit.com, hubblehq.com, myhqspaces.com, and officebroker.io alongside startups.co.uk, indicating the AI anchors coworking responses on aggregator and review-style content rather than operator websites. Mindspace is the only brand from the top ten whose own domain, mindspace.me, appears in the top cited sources list.

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 →
