What we observed in this category

Calendly leads the interview scheduling software category with 50% visibility, more than double the 25% held by second-ranked GoodTime and third-ranked Paradox. However, Calendly carries a 0% citation rate, meaning Google AI Mode names it frequently but never links to its domain as a source. That gap between being named and being cited is the largest of any brand in the dataset, and it matters because citation signals trust and content authority, not just brand recognition.

GoodTime presents the sharpest divergence between visibility and citation in the top five. Its visibility fell 25 percentage points from the previous period while its citation rate rose by 25 points, landing at 37.5%, the highest citation rate in the entire category. HireVue shows the inverse pattern, holding 0% visibility but a 25% citation rate, suggesting AI surfaces its content as a reference without naming it as a recommended product. These two brands illustrate how named presence and trusted source status are measured separately.

The top cited sources in this category are dominated by third-party and comparison-style domains, including candidate.fyi, cal.com, youcanbook.me, and reddit.com, rather than vendor-owned pages. YouTube also appears in the cited sources list. This pattern suggests Google AI Mode is anchoring its responses on review, community, and comparison content rather than brand websites, which helps explain why Calendly can achieve high visibility with zero citations while specialist tools like intervue.io and hackerearth.com appear in the source list without ranking in the top ten brands.

The AEO ranking

#	Brand	Visibility	Citation	Top engine
1	Calendly calendly.com	50%	0%	Google AI Mode
Calendly leads at 50% visibility, nearly nine times the 5.6% category average, but its 0% citation rate means AI names it without anchoring to its domain as a source.
2	GoodTime goodtime.io	25%	38%	Google AI Mode
GoodTime holds the highest citation rate in the top five at 37.5%, despite its visibility dropping 25 points from the prior period, signalling content trust is outpacing brand mention frequency.
3	Paradox paradox.ai	25%	12%	Google AI Mode
Paradox is the biggest visibility riser this period, climbing from rank 6 to rank 3 with visibility and citation both increasing by 12.5 points, reaching 25% and 12.5% respectively.
4	ModernLoop modernloop.com	12%	12%	Google AI Mode
ModernLoop sits at 12.5% for both visibility and citation, placing it just above the 5.6% category average on visibility but well above the 4.4% average on citation rate.
5	HireVue hirevue.com	0%	25%	Google AI Mode
HireVue records 0% visibility but a 25% citation rate, the clearest example in the dataset of a brand whose content is trusted by AI as a source while it is never named as a top product.

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 →
