What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Livestorm holds the top composite score (18.8) despite registering 0% visibility, while Demio leads on visibility at 25% with a composite score of 17.5. This unusual split at the top — where the ranked leader has no measured visibility — signals that the category's composite ranking is heavily weighted by citation rather than named appearances. The gap between Livestorm and the third-ranked brand BigMarker (8.8) is substantial, suggesting genuine concentration at the top of this category rather than a competitive cluster.
The visibility-versus-citation divergence is striking: Livestorm is cited 62.5% of the time yet appears in zero visibility slots, meaning AI Overviews reference it as a trusted source without surfacing it as a named recommendation. Demio shows the inverse pattern — 25% visibility but 0% citation — indicating it is named in overviews but its own domain is not being pulled as a source. Brands like Zoom, GoTo Webinar, ON24, and Webex all score zero on both metrics despite their market prominence, confirming brand recognition does not translate to AI Overview presence.
Google AI Overviews is the dominant engine across all 20 brands audited, with no other engine appearing as a top engine for any brand. The top cited sources include reddit.com, ventureharbour.com, zapier.com, and livestorm.co itself, suggesting AI is anchoring on third-party review and aggregator content rather than vendor sites. The presence of smaller domains like ebinarninja.com and getwebinarkit.com among top cited sources indicates the AI is drawing from niche comparison and review sites over established enterprise vendor pages.

Sources AI engines trust in this category
Across the 8 buyer-intent queries we ran on webinar platforms, these are the domains Google AI Overviews 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.
