At a glance
What we observed in this category
Orion leads the wealth management software category with a composite score of 25.0, having risen six places from rank 7 to rank 1 in the most recent period. Its visibility and citation percentages are both 25.0, making it the only brand where those two metrics are perfectly aligned. The category average visibility sits at just 3.8 percent, so Orion's 25.0 percent visibility represents a gap of more than six times the mean, which signals a consolidating leader dynamic rather than a contested field.
RightCapital presents the sharpest divergence between named and trusted signals in the category: it holds zero visibility yet carries a 62.5 percent citation rate, the highest citation figure of any brand in the data. Addepar shows the inverse pattern, sitting at 25.0 percent visibility with zero citations, and it has also lost 25.0 citation points since the prior period. This named-versus-trusted split means AI responses are referencing RightCapital as a source without surfacing it as a primary answer, while Addepar is mentioned but not linked.
Google AI Mode is the top engine for every brand in this audit, indicating the dataset is effectively single-engine. The top cited sources include youtube.com, investopedia.com, reddit.com, and investmentnews.com alongside brand-owned domains such as rightcapital.com. The presence of reddit.com and investmentnews.com in the source list suggests Google AI Mode is drawing on community discussion and trade press, not just vendor marketing pages, when constructing answers about wealth management software.

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 90 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
