One thing stands out. ChatGPT cites company sites directly: basecode.com.au tops its list, so a company’s own pages decide whether it is named.
What to do with your row
Most recommendedTop 3 on an engine
Open your full report, then take the “Top 3 in AI answers” badge. It names the engine, it links back here, and it is free. Then keep the spot: Findrix tracks all three engines for your company and tells you when a rival moves in.
MentionedNamed, not recommended
Findrix shows you, answer by answer, who took the recommendation instead of you and which sites got them there. Your site becomes a numbered list of edits, and the next scan confirms each one.
Not namedMissing from all 240 answers
Findrix runs your buyers’ questions for your company and shows what AI says instead of you, with every wrong fact and the correction written for you.
What “Top 3 in AI answers” means
A company gets the badge when it is in the top 3 on any single engine, by how many of that engine’s answers recommend it, not just name it. The badge names the engine, so a company can hold it on Gemini and not on ChatGPT. In Gold Coast that is Basecode, Appello Software and Spritely on ChatGPT. ISH Technologies, CMD Software and Mosaik Software on Gemini. ISH Technologies, Basecode and CMD Software on Google AI Mode. 9 badges, 6 companies. A badge holder confirms its website inside the report and puts the badge on its site, and it links back to this page.
The 80 questions we asked
Every company was measured against the same 80 questions, asked the way a buyer types them, with no company name in the question. Grouped by how the question is asked: four kinds.
Use case (the job is named)
2 questions
- Could you recommend custom software development companies near Southport that would quote a fixed price for a defects tracking app for our high-rise sites?
- Which app development companies around Tweed Heads are best known for apps that load quickly?
Alternatives (excluding the well-known)
the question asks for options outside the market leaders9 questions
- Investors want an independent look at the code behind our app before they sign, so which software consultancies around Burleigh Heads do that kind of review?
- Can you suggest software development companies near Coolangatta that will work alongside our existing website agency instead of replacing it?
- Any boutique software consultancies in Southport building open-home sign-in and follow-up tools for real estate agencies?
+ 6 more questions in this group.
Criterion (price, reviews, support, integration)
a plain category question with one qualifier5 questions
- Our Schoolies safety volunteers rely on an app all night for that week, so which software developers in Surfers Paradise could support it through the night?
- Do any software developers near Coolangatta let a seasonal business like our whale watching cruises spread the cost of a booking app over monthly instalments?
- Are there custom software companies on the Gold Coast that could build operating theatre scheduling for a private day surgery?
+ 2 more questions in this group.
Other phrasing
64 questions
- Our meal prep orders have doubled and still come in by text message, so which app developers around Burleigh Heads could get an ordering app running within a month?
- Our cane harvesting group has to fit every farm's cut around the mill's delivery slots, so which software developers near Tweed Heads could build us a proper harvest schedule?
- Our buyers' agency mostly works for people moving up from interstate, so which custom software development companies on the Gold Coast could build a portal where clients follow every property we inspect for them?
+ 61 more questions in this group.
How we measure
Each of the 80 questions was asked once to ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode in October 2026: 240 answers. We read every answer and record which companies it names. A company’s share is the part of answers that name it. Different spellings of one company are merged into one row.
Left out: companies outside Gold Coast, and names that aren’t custom software development companies. A name AI gave without a website we could find is listed without a profile.
One run per question means a single answer moves a company at the bottom of the table by a point. Treat differences of 1 to 2% as noise and the top 20 as stable.
One email when the next run moves this list: who entered, who left, where you stand. No newsletter.
Questions about this ranking
Why isn’t my company listed?
Either no engine named it in the 240 answers we read, or it was named and we could not match it to a website. Search the list above. If it was named, its full report is ready and you can add the website from there. If it was never named, Findrix shows what AI says when buyers ask about custom software development companies, which rivals it names instead, and a ranked list of fixes: the page, the edit, and the next scan ticks it off. It starts with the 7-day trial.
What is in the full report?
Everything we collected about the company: its position on each of ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode, recommended or only mentioned, its average position in the answer and what AI says about it word for word. It opens after a quick login, free, for anyone. The “Top 3 in AI answers” badge goes on the company’s site when any engine puts it in its top 3.
Why would I subscribe if I am already listed?
This page is one snapshot. Findrix is where you control and grow your AI visibility over time: your own question set, 60 to 180 questions by plan, tracked for you and your rivals. On every answer you see recommended, only mentioned, or a rival, and which sites earned that rival the spot. Wrong facts come with the correction email written for you. Your site becomes a numbered plan: which page, what to change, confirmed by the next scan. A PDF report for you and your team. It starts with the 7-day trial.
Can I correct or remove my company’s listing?
Use Request a correction at the bottom of the page: we check the change against the answers and fix the listing. Sign in with an email on the company’s domain to open its full report. For anything else, write to us there too and we will look at it against your website.
