At a glance
What we observed in this category
Atlassian Statuspage leads the category with 75% visibility, six times the 12.5% category average, after rising from rank 4 to rank 1 with a 25-point visibility gain. That gap matters because the next closest brand, Better Stack, sits at 50% visibility and is falling, having lost 12.5 points since the previous period. No other brand in the top 10 exceeds 37.5% visibility, making Atlassian Statuspage the only brand with a commanding AI presence in this category.
A sharp divergence between visibility and citation defines ranks 2 through 4. Better Stack holds 50% visibility but a 0% citation rate, meaning AI surfaces it without linking to it. UptimeRobot and OpenStatus show the opposite pattern, each at just 12.5% visibility but 87.5% citation rates, the highest in the category. Sorry, ranked 9th, has zero visibility yet a 37.5% citation rate, confirming that being named in AI responses and being cited as a source are almost entirely disconnected in this category.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all 10 ranked brands, with every brand listing it as their top engine. Among the top cited sources, openstatus.dev and uptimerobot.com appear directly alongside third-party domains such as guideflow.com, augmentcode.com, medium.com, and github.com. This suggests AI responses in this category anchor heavily on comparison content and developer community sources rather than vendor homepages, which may explain why high-visibility brands like Better Stack still record zero citations.

How to read this AEO 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 →
AEO 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 →
