At a glance
What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Fixed Today Plumbing holds the only measurable AI visibility score in this category, at 12.5% visibility and a composite score of 8.8, while every other tracked brand sits at exactly 0.0 across all metrics. The gap is not marginal, it is total: Fixed Today Plumbing is the sole brand Google AI Mode surfaces with any regularity. That 12.5% figure against a category average of 0.8% underscores how concentrated AI attention is, with 14 of 15 brands holding zero presence in AI-generated responses.
Visibility and citation diverge sharply even for the category leader. Fixed Today Plumbing registers 12.5% visibility but a 0.0% citation rate, meaning Google AI Mode references or surfaces the brand in responses without attributing a direct source link to its domain. The average citation rate across all 15 brands is also 0.0%, confirming that no brand in this category is earning attributed citations inside AI answers. Being named in AI output and being cited as a trusted source are two entirely separate outcomes here.
The top cited sources in this category are dominated by aggregator and community platforms rather than individual plumbing brands. Google.com, Reddit.com, Hipages.com.au, and Yelp appear alongside Proximity Plumbing and one emergency plumber domain, suggesting Google AI Mode anchors its plumbing responses on directory listings, review platforms, and user-generated content rather than brand websites. None of the 15 tracked brand domains appear in the top cited sources list.

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.
