What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
VSee leads the telehealth platforms category with a composite score of 23.8, nearly double the second-ranked Curogram at 15.0. The category average visibility sits at just 2.5%, making VSee's 12.5% visibility and 50% citation rate a pronounced outlier. Seven of the top 10 brands — including well-resourced players like Teladoc Health, Doxy.me, and Zoom for Healthcare — hold composite scores of 7.5 or below, with the bottom four all scoring exactly zero. This concentration gap signals that AI Mode is selectively surfacing only a narrow set of platforms.
Curogram presents the sharpest divergence between visibility and citation in the dataset: a 0.0% visibility score paired with a 50.0% citation rate, matching VSee's citation figure despite appearing in zero named mentions. This pattern suggests Google AI Mode is referencing Curogram as a source or authority without explicitly naming it in responses. Amwell and Mend show the inverse — both at 12.5% visibility with 0.0% citation — indicating they are named in AI responses but not trusted enough to be cited as sources.
The top cited sources list reveals Google AI Mode is anchoring heavily on third-party and niche health-adjacent domains alongside brand-owned sites. Sources such as medesk.net, sermo.com, emitrr.com, and digitalhealth.folio3.com appear alongside vsee.com and curogram.com, suggesting AI responses in this category are informed by specialist review and comparison sites rather than mainstream health publishers, with healthline.com and goodrx.com the only high-authority consumer health properties in the citation set.

Sources AI engines trust in this category
Across the 8 buyer-intent queries we ran on telehealth platforms, 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.
