When buyers ask AI engines about dispatch software, Onfleet stands out as the clear leader. It is mentioned in a notable 25.0 percent of AI-generated answers. Other top brands like Jobber and FieldPulse also frequently appear, showcasing their strong presence in the industry.
The current rankings are heavily influenced by the sources these AI engines rely on. Websites like youtube.com and capterra.com, which typically host aggregated reviews and in-depth comparisons, are major contributors. This suggests that brands with substantial user feedback and comprehensive evaluations from these platforms gain higher visibility.
For buyers, this data highlights the importance of seeking brands with strong Answer Engine Optimisation. AI engines tend to value recent user reviews and credible third-party validations, especially from authoritative sites. Evaluating how prominently a brand appears in these AI-generated answers can provide crucial insights into its market reputation and reliability.
At a glance
What we observed in this category
Onfleet holds the top AEO position in the dispatch software category with a composite score of 40.0, more than double Jobber's 17.5 in second place. That gap is significant because Onfleet's score is driven by a 75.0% citation rate alongside 25.0% visibility, while Jobber matches it on visibility but records 0.0% citations. The distance between first and fifth place (FieldEdge at 3.8) shows how concentrated answer engine performance is at the very top of this category.
The data reveals a clear split between brands that are named and brands that are trusted by AI. Jobber and ServiceTitan both register measurable visibility (25.0% and 12.5% respectively) yet hold zero citation share, meaning Google AI Mode mentions them without linking to them as sources. FieldPulse inverts this pattern entirely, recording 0.0% visibility but 37.5% citations, suggesting the AI draws on its content as a reference without surfacing it prominently in responses.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across every brand in this dataset, with no outliers recorded for any other engine. The top cited sources in the category are dominated by third-party platforms including youtube.com, capterra.com, reddit.com, smartroutes.io, and upperinc.com, rather than vendor domains. Onfleet.com is the only brand domain appearing in that cited-sources list, which helps explain its disproportionate citation advantage over competitors with comparable or higher visibility.

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 →
