What we observed in this categoryauto-generated

Chromatix holds the only measurable AI visibility in this category, scoring 12.5% visibility and a composite score of 8.8 against a category average of just 0.6%. Every other tracked brand, including Bapple, INSIDEA, EB Pearls, and Digital Nomads HQ, sits at 0.0% across all metrics. This gap is significant because it means Google AI Mode is effectively surfacing one brand in response to queries about Canberra web design agencies, leaving 19 competitors with no AI-generated presence at all.

Across all 20 brands, the average citation rate is 0.0%, including Chromatix itself. Chromatix is named in AI responses despite receiving zero citations, which means it achieves visibility through description or mention rather than through source links. No brand in this category has converted AI visibility into citation credit, creating a landscape where being named and being trusted as a source are entirely disconnected outcomes for every player tracked.

The cited sources Google AI Mode anchors on for this category are dominated by third-party directories and review platforms, specifically Clutch, DesignRush, and Google itself, alongside local outlets such as Region.com.au, CanberraDaily.com.au, and RB.com.au. Community sources like Reddit also appear. This pattern suggests AI answers in this category are built primarily from aggregator and local media content rather than from agency websites directly, which explains why brand citation rates remain at zero even where visibility exists.

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.
