What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Archie dominates the desk booking software category with a visibility score of 25.0% and a citation rate of 75.0%, producing a composite score of 40.0. The next closest brand, deskbird, scores 12.5% visibility and 0.0% citation, giving a composite of just 8.8. That gap between rank one and rank two is substantial, and every brand from rank four downward holds a composite score of zero, meaning Archie is effectively alone in capturing meaningful AI attention across this category.
A clear divergence exists between being named and being cited. Deskbird appears in 12.5% of AI responses but earns zero citations, meaning the AI references it without linking to its domain. OfficeSpace shows the inverse pattern, with 0.0% visibility but a 25.0% citation rate, meaning the AI links to officespacesoftware.com even in responses that do not explicitly name the brand. These two cases reveal that named presence and trusted source status are not the same signal in Google AI Mode.
Google AI Mode is the top engine for every brand in this dataset, confirming the audit is concentrated on that single surface. The top cited sources include youtube.com, reddit.com, and archieapp.co alongside smaller editorial domains such as albertodirisio.com and beyondintranet.com. The presence of reddit.com and a personal blog domain in the citation list suggests the AI is anchoring on community and third-party editorial content rather than relying exclusively on brand-owned pages.

Sources AI engines trust in this category
Across the 8 buyer-intent queries we ran on desk booking software, these are the domains Google AI Mode cited most often. If you're not on this list — or if your competitors are — that's a concrete PR / linkbuilding target.
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.
