What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Salsify is the only brand in this 18-brand category registering any AI visibility at all, with a 12.5% visibility score and a composite score of 8.8. Every other tracked brand sits at exactly 0.0% visibility and 0.0 composite score. The category average is just 0.7%, which is itself inflated entirely by Salsify's single positive reading. This concentration in one brand is extreme and signals that Google AI Mode is currently treating this category as nearly invisible at the brand level.
A striking divergence appears between being named and being cited. Salsify is visible at 12.5% but carries a 0.0% citation rate, meaning Google AI Mode references or surfaces the brand without linking back to its domain as a source. Every other brand has zero on both metrics. The category average citation rate is 0.0%, confirming that no brand in product experience management software is earning source-level trust from Google AI Mode responses in this audit period.
The top cited sources in this category are not vendor domains. Platforms such as g2.com, youtube.com, goconsensus.com, and canny.io are the anchors Google AI Mode appears to draw on when constructing answers. This pattern suggests the AI is routing to third-party review, video, and community content rather than to software vendor sites directly. Akeneo is a notable faller, dropping from 12.5% visibility in the prior period to 0.0% now, which indicates this category's AI footprint is both thin and unstable.

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.
