Other top brands that appear alongside COMO include The Ritz-Carlton, Perth and QT Perth. These brands lead the conversation, capturing significant attention among travelers and those seeking top accommodations.

The rankings favor COMO The Treasury due to heavy referencing from major sites like Booking.com and Tripadvisor.

As these are reliable aggregator and review sites, they provide a trustworthy snapshot of hotel reputation, explaining why certain hotels appear more frequently in AI-generated responses.

As a buyer evaluating hotels in Perth, consider the emphasis AI places on recent reviews and trusted third-party validations.

What we observed in this category

COMO The Treasury leads the Hotels in Perth category with a visibility score of 50.0%, well above the category average of 14.4% and nearly 13 percentage points clear of the next cluster of brands at 37.5%. That gap is material because it means Google AI Mode surfaces COMO The Treasury in half of all tracked queries, while most of the 20 brands in the audit fall well below even the average. The difference between the leader and the tail is stark, with several brands registering zero visibility entirely.

A notable divergence exists between being named by AI and being cited by it. All top-four brands, including COMO The Treasury, The Ritz-Carlton Perth, QT Perth, and DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Waterfront, carry a citation rate of exactly 0.0%, despite visibility scores between 37.5% and 50.0%. InterContinental Perth City Centre is the only top-five brand with any citation activity at 12.5%, making it an outlier as the sole property where AI references a source link alongside its mention.

The audit data shows Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all 20 brands, with no brand recording a different top engine. The top cited external sources are google.com, booking.com, tripadvisor.com, agoda.com, and australia.com, suggesting AI responses in this category anchor on OTA and review aggregator content rather than direct hotel domains. The presence of youtube.com and both tripadvisor.com and tripadvisor.ca in the citation list points to multimedia and user-generated review content playing a supporting role in how AI constructs answers.

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. 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 →

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 →
