At a glance
What we observed in this category
Salesforce Field Service leads the category with a composite score of 32.5, despite a visibility percentage of just 25.0, because its citation rate of 50.0% is the joint highest in the dataset. The category average visibility sits at only 6.9%, meaning even mid-table brands like ServiceTitan (37.5% visibility) and Jobber (37.5% visibility) are operating well above the norm. Salesforce rose from rank 6 to rank 1 this period, a jump driven entirely by a visibility delta of 25.0 and a citation delta of 12.5.
The visibility-to-citation split reveals a sharp divergence between brands that appear in AI responses and brands that are actually linked as sources. Jobber and Housecall Pro both hold meaningful visibility scores (37.5% and 25.0% respectively) but carry zero citation percentage, meaning Google AI Mode names them without pointing buyers to their content. Simpro and FieldPulse show the opposite pattern: Simpro has 0.0% visibility yet a 50.0% citation rate, and FieldPulse has 0.0% visibility with a 37.5% citation rate, making them trusted sources that are never surfaced as recommended products.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all 10 ranked brands, with no other engine appearing in the top engine column. The cited sources list anchors heavily on third-party and user-generated content, with youtube.com, reddit.com, gartner.com, and technologyadvice.com all present alongside brand-owned domains like salesforce.com and simprogroup.com. The presence of fieldcamp.ai and myquoteiq.com alongside Gartner suggests the AI is drawing on a wide tier of content, from analyst reports down to niche comparison tools.

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 →
