At a glance
What we observed in this category
Chubb holds a dominant position in this category with a visibility score of 62.5%, more than 25 percentage points ahead of second-ranked Travelers at 37.5%. The category average visibility sits at just 9.4%, making Chubb's lead structurally significant rather than marginal. Travelers itself rose sharply, gaining 25 percentage points since the previous period, yet its composite score of 26.2 remains less than half of Chubb's 55.0, illustrating how large the gap at the top actually is.
The visibility-to-citation relationship is notably inconsistent across this category. Travelers and Beazley both achieve meaningful visibility scores (37.5% and 25.0% respectively) but carry zero citation rates, meaning AI surfaces them by name without linking to their domains. Conversely, Coalition holds a 0.0% visibility score yet earns a 25.0% citation rate, suggesting its content is being referenced as a source even when the brand is not explicitly named in AI responses. At-Bay and AIG each align their visibility and citation at 12.5%, making them the only brands with parity between the two metrics.
All ten tracked brands show Google AI Mode as their top engine, confirming this category's AI visibility is concentrated in a single engine. The cited sources anchoring AI responses include third-party review and comparison sites such as security.org, nerdwallet.com, and insurancebusinessmag.com, alongside niche broker and podcast properties like seedpodcyber.com and prowritersins.com. Reddit also appears in the top cited sources, indicating community-generated content is influencing how Google AI Mode constructs answers about cyber insurance providers.

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 →
