At a glance
What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
71 Nyhavn Hotel leads the Copenhagen hotels category with a visibility score of 62.5%, placing it 12.5 percentage points ahead of the next two brands, Nimb Hotel and Villa Copenhagen, both at 50.0%. The category average sits at just 18.8%, meaning the top brand outperforms the field by more than three times. This gap signals that Google AI Mode has a strong preference for a narrow set of properties, leaving the majority of the 20 tracked brands well below the threshold where AI mentions translate into meaningful exposure.
A striking pattern across all 10 ranked brands is that citation rate is 0.0% for every single entry, including the category leader. This means 71 Nyhavn Hotel, despite its 62.5% visibility, receives no direct URL citations from Google AI Mode. The same holds for Hotel d'Angleterre, a historically prominent Copenhagen property now sitting at rank 9 with only 12.5% visibility and zero citations. Visibility and citation are entirely decoupled in this category, so named presence in AI responses does not convert into referral traffic via cited links.
The top cited sources in this category are third-party platforms and aggregators, led by google.com, tripadvisor.com, and reddit.com, followed by globalgrasshopper.com, community.ricksteves.com, trivago.com, skyscanner.com, and travel.usnews.com. No hotel brand domain appears in the cited sources list, confirming that Google AI Mode anchors its answers on review and aggregator content rather than on hotel websites directly. All 10 ranked brands share Google AI Mode as their top engine, indicating no meaningful presence on alternative AI platforms in this audit period.

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.
