Question 1

Which Australia cities are covered in the psychologists rankings?

Accepted Answer

Rankings cover every Australia city where we have completed at least one monthly run. Live cities are listed above in the Live rankings section. Cities under Tracking next are scheduled for upcoming runs. Cities not listed at all have not yet been added to our tracking program. We prioritise cities by buyer query volume, so major metros usually go first, followed by regional centres based on demand.

Question 2

How is the rank 1 psychologist in each Australia city selected?

Accepted Answer

By AI Recommendation Share (ARS): the percentage of the 60 monthly prompts per city in which the business appeared across all four AI platforms. The firm named most often wins rank 1. No manual curation, no editorial override, no commercial factor. If two firms tie on ARS, the Composite Index Score (CIS) breaks the tie, which adds platform coverage and position weighting. Example: in our Adelaide March 2026 run, when two firms shared the same ARS, CIS broke the tie based on which firm was recommended across more of the four platforms with stronger position weighting.

Question 3

Why do ChatGPT and Claude recommend different firms?

Accepted Answer

Because they are different systems trained on different data with different retrieval models. ChatGPT uses Bing and its own web retrieval. Claude uses its own web search integration. Gemini pulls from Google's search infrastructure. Perplexity runs its own index. Each platform weights sources differently. Example from our Australia psychologists data: the rank 1 firm on ChatGPT is often not the rank 1 firm on Claude, and overlap of the top 3 firms across all four platforms is typically partial rather than complete. This is a key finding from our research: tracking multiple platforms gives a truer picture of AI recommendation than any single platform alone.

Question 4

How often do Australia rankings update?

Accepted Answer

Monthly. We run the same 60 prompts per city at the start of each month across all four AI platforms. The Princeton 2024 GEO paper (KDD 2024) confirmed that AI recommendations shift as training data, retrieval indexes, and platform models update. Monthly cadence is the minimum needed to detect real month-on-month change rather than random variation in responses.

Question 5

Are these rankings affected by paid advertising or sponsorship?

Accepted Answer

No. The AI See You Recommendation Index cannot be paid into. Rankings come from actual AI responses to real prompts, collected monthly. No brand, advertiser, or sponsor affects the data. We may contact businesses that appear in our rankings to offer our product, but no commercial relationship affects how data is collected or presented. All firm identities are verified against public registers maintained by ASIC, the Tax Practitioners Board, CPA Australia, and CA ANZ. Princeton's research concluded credibility signals outweigh any commercial signal for AI citation outcomes.

Question 6

What should a psychologist do if they are not listed?

Accepted Answer

Two paths. If you are a Australia psychologist that should be appearing, the right move is to understand why AI systems are not finding or naming you. Our free Recommendation Score scan shows exactly where the gaps are: schema signals, directory presence, review aggregation, content depth, authority markers. Fix those and your likelihood of being recommended improves over time. Not every psychologist will appear, but most have addressable gaps.

Question 7

Can a firm improve its AI ranking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with work. AI recommendation likelihood is driven by entity signals (Organisation schema, consistent name presence, credible citations), content depth (answer-first pages, comparison content, authority markers), and trust signals (verifiable credentials, professional memberships, review aggregates). The Princeton GEO research showed citing credible sources produced a 115.1% visibility increase. We help firms close those gaps systematically rather than guessing.
