At a glance
What we observed in this category
Oracle Health leads the category with a composite score of 30.0, rising from rank 8 to rank 1 after its visibility jumped from 0.0% to 37.5%. Despite sharing that 37.5% visibility figure with athenahealth and Epic, Oracle Health is the only one of the three that also carries a citation rate (12.5%), which explains its higher composite score and the gap at the top. That citation advantage is small in absolute terms but decisive in a category where the average citation rate is just 4.4%.
The most striking divergence between visibility and citation belongs to RXNT, which holds only 12.5% visibility yet leads all brands in citation rate at 37.5%. Tebra mirrors this pattern in reverse, pairing 25.0% visibility with a matching 25.0% citation rate. Meanwhile, athenahealth and Epic each sit at 37.5% visibility with 0.0% citations, meaning AI Mode names them frequently but does not anchor responses to their own domains as sources. Being named and being trusted as a source are clearly separate signals in this category.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all 20 brands in the audit, with every brand listing it as their top engine. The cited sources list reveals that AI responses draw heavily from third-party directories and review platforms such as softwarefinder.com and ehrinpractice.com, alongside youtube.com and reddit.com. RXNT is the only brand whose own domain (rxnt.com) appears directly in the top cited sources list, which is consistent with its category-high citation rate of 37.5%.

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 →
