Two things stand out. Google AI Mode leans on cenango.com for 57% of its answers, so a company not listed there is largely invisible on Google AI Mode. ChatGPT cites company sites directly: digitalnomadstudio.io 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 180 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

Top 3 in AI answers · Findrix AI Rankings · ChatGPT · Custom software development companies in the Central Coast · October 2026Top 3 in AI answersFindrixCustom software development companies in the Central CoastFindrix AI Rankings · ChatGPT · Oct 2026

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 the Central Coast that is OneBlink, Code Venture and Digital Nomad Studio on ChatGPT. COLETEK, Coastec and Chewing IT on Gemini. COLETEK, Kicking Pixels and Gosford IT on Google AI Mode. 9 badges, 8 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 60 questions we asked

Every company was measured against the same 60 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)

4 questions
  • Our home care clients are mostly over eighty, so which app developers on the Central Coast have built tablet apps with big buttons and only a few steps?
  • Our car dealership keeps customers' licence scans and finance applications, so which custom software development companies on the Central Coast build systems that protect that kind of data properly?
  • Any app developers in Gosford who've built harvest and water testing records for oyster farmers?

+ 1 more question in this group.

Alternatives (excluding the well-known)

the question asks for options outside the market leaders8 questions
  • A business near us was hacked through its software supplier, so which custom software development companies in Gosford have had their own security independently audited?
  • We use our own standard supplier contract, so which custom software companies on the Central Coast are happy to sign it instead of theirs?
  • Are there any independent custom software development companies in Gosford that build job and council approval tracking for shed and carport builders?

+ 5 more questions in this group.

Criterion (price, reviews, support, integration)

a plain category question with one qualifier6 questions
  • We'd rather not pay by the hour on an open-ended build, so which custom software development companies in Wyong will agree a fixed price before they start?
  • Our roadside assistance drivers get their jobs through our app all night, so which software consultancies in Wyong offer round-the-clock support for it?
  • Our dental lab tracks every crown and denture job in an old program nobody supports any more, so which software developers on the Central Coast could build us a replacement?

+ 3 more questions in this group.

Other phrasing

42 questions
  • Our Christmas tree farm opens in seven weeks and we want families booking pick-up time slots online by then, so which custom software development companies in Wyong could build that quickly?
  • Is there a software development company in Gosford whose developers live locally and know our customers?
  • Most of our aged care night staff are Nepali, so which custom software developers in Gosford could build our handover notes app in Nepali and English?

+ 39 more questions in this group.

How we measure

Each of the 60 questions was asked once to ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode in October 2026: 180 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 the Central 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.

Questions about this ranking

Why isn’t my company listed?

Either no engine named it in the 180 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.
