What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
The Billi Resort leads the Hotels in Broome category with a visibility score of 75.0%, well above the category average of 21.2%. The next two brands, The Pearle of Cable Beach and Pinctada McAlpine House, share a visibility score of 62.5%, creating a clear top tier separated from mid-table brands like Cable Beach Club Resort and Spa and Mangrove Hotel, both at 50.0%. Oaks Broome Hotel records zero visibility, showing how sharply AI presence drops off beyond rank nine across the 20 brands tracked.
A striking pattern across all 20 tracked brands is that citation rates are uniformly 0.0%, meaning no brand in this category is being directly cited as a source by Google AI Mode. Visibility and citation are therefore entirely decoupled here. Brands like The Billi Resort are named frequently in AI-generated responses but their own domains are not referenced as supporting sources. This gap between being mentioned and being trusted as a source is a category-wide condition, not an individual brand weakness.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across every ranked brand in this dataset, with no other engine recorded as a top performer for any property. The cited sources anchoring AI responses in this category are third-party platforms and travel publishers, including tripadvisor.com, thehotelguru.com, expedia.com, kayak.com, visitbroome.com.au, and kimberleytravelandcruise.com.au. This suggests Google AI Mode is drawing its Hotels in Broome recommendations from aggregator and regional travel content rather than from the hotel brands' own domains.

Sources AI engines trust in this category

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.
