What we observed in this category

Hilton Plumbing dominates this category with a composite score of 50.0, which is more than four times the score of second-ranked Plumbdog at 12.5. The category average visibility sits at just 3.1 percent, meaning Hilton Plumbing is operating at roughly 16 times the average. This is not a competitive landscape in AI visibility terms. It is a near-monopoly at the top, with a sharp cliff after rank two and zero composite score for every brand from rank four downward across the ten brands audited.

Same Day Trades presents the clearest divergence between visibility and citation in this dataset. It holds a 0.0 visibility score but a 25.0 citation rate, producing a composite of only 7.5. This means Google AI Mode references Same Day Trades as a source but does not surface it prominently in direct brand mentions. Plumbdog shows the inverse trend over time, with its citation delta rising by 12.5 while its visibility fell by the same amount, suggesting it is being cited more often even as it appears less frequently as a named recommendation.

Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all ten audited brands, with every brand listing it as their top engine. The top cited sources in this category include google.com, reddit.com, and checkatrade.com alongside local Perth-specific domains such as proudplumbingandgas.com.au, emberplumbingperth.com.au, and gxrplumbing.com.au. Hilton Plumbing's own domain (hiltonplumbing.com.au) appears in the top cited sources list, reinforcing why its scores lead all other brands by a wide margin.

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 →
