What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Allsports Physiotherapy holds the only non-zero visibility score in this category at 12.5%, against a category average of just 0.6%. That gap is stark: every other ranked brand, including Kieser, Back In Motion, Physio Inq, and Lifecare, sits at exactly 0.0% visibility and 0.0% citation. Allsports is essentially the sole brand Google AI Mode surfaces when answering physiotherapy queries in Brisbane, which means the competitive landscape in AI Mode is currently a one-brand race with 19 brands invisible.
Despite holding rank 1 and a composite score of 8.8, Allsports Physiotherapy has a citation rate of 0.0%, matching every other brand in the dataset. This means Allsports is named or referenced in AI responses but its domain is not being cited as a source. The separation between visibility and citation is total across all 20 brands, suggesting Google AI Mode is generating answers about this category without linking out to any of the tracked brand domains as authoritative references.
The top cited sources in this category are third-party directories and smaller independent clinics, including healthengine.com.au, elitehp.com.au, alignhc.com.au, barefootphysiotherapy.com.au, and brisbanephysiotherapy.com, alongside google.com itself. None of the top 10 ranked brands appears in the cited sources list. Google AI Mode is anchoring its answers on aggregator platforms and unbranded clinic sites rather than on the domains of the category's most searched or recognised brands.

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.
