At a glance
What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Harcourts leads the East Brisbane property management category with 37.5% AI visibility, more than double the 25.0% held by second-ranked Place Estate Agents, and roughly eight times the category average of 4.4%. That gap is material because it means Google AI Mode surfaces Harcourts in response to roughly one in three relevant queries, while the majority of the 20 tracked brands receive zero visibility. Ray White and Belle Property share third and fourth place at 12.5% each, leaving a sharp cliff between the top four and everyone else.
Every brand in this audit records a citation rate of exactly 0.0%, including the four brands that do hold meaningful visibility scores. This means Google AI Mode is naming Harcourts, Place Estate Agents, Ray White, and Belle Property in its responses but is not linking back to their own domains as sources. The AI is referencing these brands without treating their websites as authoritative references, which creates a divergence between being mentioned and being trusted as a source.
The top cited sources in this category are third-party platforms and aggregators, specifically realestate.com.au, ratemyagent.com.au, oneflare.com.au, and top10realestateagent.com.au, alongside google.com, reddit.com, facebook.com, and youtube.com. Google AI Mode is anchoring on review and listing aggregators rather than brand-owned domains. This pattern explains why brand citation rates are zero even when brand names appear in AI responses.

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.
