At a glance
What we observed in this category
Re-Leased leads the lease management software category with a composite score of 22.5, more than double MRI Software's 11.2 in second place. Every other brand from rank 3 onward scores 3.8 or below, and 16 of the 20 tracked brands score zero. This concentration at the top means a single brand is capturing a disproportionate share of AI-generated attention, and the gap between first and third place is large enough to be structurally significant for any competitor trying to enter the visible tier.
All 20 brands record 0.0 percent visibility, yet citation rates vary considerably, from Re-Leased at 75 percent down to zero for the majority. This means AI Mode is referencing brands inside answers without surfacing their pages as primary results. Re-Leased is the clearest example: it holds rank 1 on citation alone, not on visibility. Lucernex presents the inverse risk, dropping from a previous visibility of 25 percent to zero while its citation rate held at zero, suggesting it lost named presence without ever building citation trust.
Google AI Mode is the sole engine recorded across all brands in this audit, indicating the dataset reflects a single-engine snapshot. Among cited sources, youtube.com appears first, ahead of re-leased.com and gartner.com, which suggests AI is anchoring on video and third-party analyst content rather than vendor sites alone. The presence of reddit.com and review-adjacent domains such as doorloop.com and hemlane.com in the top cited sources points to community and comparison content playing a meaningful role in how AI constructs answers in this category.

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 →
