What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Klaviyo and Barilliance share the top rank with identical visibility scores of 25.0% and composite scores of 17.5, both sitting well above the category average of 3.1%. No other brand comes close on visibility alone, making the gap between rank 2 and rank 3 (Rejoiner at 12.5%) substantial. The fact that all three top brands entered from zero previous visibility indicates this category is in an early, volatile phase of AI coverage rather than a settled hierarchy.
A notable divergence exists between being named and being cited. Klaviyo and Barilliance hold the highest visibility scores yet carry 0.0% citation rates, meaning Google AI Mode mentions them without linking to their domains as sources. ActiveCampaign shows the opposite pattern, with 0.0% visibility but a 25.0% citation rate, making it the most-cited brand in the category despite never appearing as a named recommendation in AI responses.
Google AI Mode is the top engine for every brand in this dataset, indicating the audit data is essentially single-engine coverage. The cited sources list includes third-party platforms such as youtube.com, reddit.com, and smaller AI-adjacent tools like hellorep.ai and markopolo.ai alongside brand domains like activecampaign.com and pushowl.com. This suggests Google AI Mode is pulling category information from community and aggregator content rather than anchoring on brand-owned pages.

Sources AI engines trust in this category
Across the 8 buyer-intent queries we ran on shopping cart abandonment software, these are the domains Google AI Mode cited most often. If you're not on this list — or if your competitors are — that's a concrete PR / linkbuilding target.
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.
