At a glance
What we observed in this category
OhMD holds rank 1 with a composite score of 38.8, far ahead of Weave and Luma Health at 12.5 each. The gap matters because OhMD achieves a 100% citation rate against a category average of 9.4%, meaning AI Mode not only mentions OhMD but consistently links to ohmd.com as a source. No other brand in the top 10 comes close to that citation rate, making OhMD structurally dominant in how AI Mode surfaces and substantiates answers in this category.
Klara illustrates the divergence between being named and being trusted as a source. It matches the top brands on visibility at 12.5% but holds a 0% citation rate, meaning AI Mode references Klara by name without ever anchoring a citation to klara.com. Demandforce presents the inverse pattern, with 0% visibility but a 25% citation rate, suggesting AI Mode uses demandforce.com as a background reference source without explicitly naming the brand in its generated answers.
Google AI Mode is the sole engine recorded across all 20 brands in this audit, so all visibility and citation signals originate from a single source. The top cited domains include ohmd.com, televox.com, intelichart.com, and doctorconnect.net, indicating that AI Mode anchors on a mix of direct brand sites and smaller specialist platforms not ranked among the top 10 brands. YouTube also appears in the cited sources list, suggesting video content plays a supporting role in how AI Mode builds 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 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
