At a glance
What we observed in this category
EHS Insight leads the category with a composite score of 22.5, nearly double that of the next two brands, VelocityEHS and Intelex, which both sit at 12.5. The gap is structurally significant because EHS Insight achieves this position with zero visibility (0.0%) but a citation rate of 75.0%, the highest in the category. The category average visibility is just 2.5% and average citation is 8.8%, meaning the overall AI presence across all 20 brands is thin, making the leader's advantage harder to close for mid-tier brands.
A clear divergence exists between being named and being cited in this category. Enablon and Cority both hold 12.5% visibility but record 0.0% citations, meaning Google AI Mode surfaces them in responses but does not link back to their domains. Conversely, EcoOnline has 0.0% visibility yet a 25.0% citation rate, and EHS Insight repeats this same pattern at larger scale. This suggests Google AI Mode is selectively trusting certain domains as source material without consistently naming the brand in the response text.
All ten ranked brands share Google AI Mode as their top engine, confirming this is a single-engine category in the current dataset with no meaningful signal from other AI platforms. The top cited sources include youtube.com, g2.com, gartner.com, and reddit.com alongside ehsinsight.com itself, indicating the AI anchors heavily on review aggregators and third-party editorial content. Cority is the steepest faller, dropping from rank 1 to rank 5 with a visibility delta of minus 25.0 percentage points, while Benchmark Gensuite fell from rank 3 to rank 20 with visibility falling to 0.0%.

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 →
