At a glance
What we observed in this category
Professionals (professionals.com.au) leads the Brisbane real estate agents category with 25.0% visibility, a composite score of 17.5, and a rank jump from 15 to 1 in the current period. That 25.0% figure is 10x the category average of 2.5%, making the gap between first and second place as large as the gap between second place and the zero-visibility brands below. Ray White and Plum Property both sit at 12.5% visibility and share an identical composite score of 8.8, meaning the top two positions below Professionals are effectively tied.
A striking pattern in this data is that citation rates are zero across every brand in the top 10, including the category leader Professionals. McGrath previously held both 25.0% visibility and a 12.5% citation rate, but has now fallen to 0.0% on both measures. This means the current landscape contains brands that are named in AI responses but not backed by a source link, creating a gap between being mentioned and being trusted as a citable reference. No brand in the current snapshot is achieving both visibility and citation simultaneously.
Every brand in the audit lists Google AI Mode as the top engine, confirming this category is a single-engine landscape in the current data. The top cited sources are aggregator and directory platforms, specifically domain.com.au, whichrealestateagent.com.au, localagentfinder.com.au, and auspropertyprofessionals.com.au, alongside tracking or pipeline links such as link.thedigitalpipeline.com and link.xpressautomations.com. Brand-owned domains are absent from the cited sources list, suggesting AI is anchoring on third-party comparison and listing platforms rather than direct agency websites.

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. 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 →
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. How AI search ranking works →
