One thing stands out. ChatGPT cites company sites directly: jimsmowing.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

What “Top 3 in AI answers” means

Top 3 in AI answers · Findrix AI Rankings · ChatGPT, Gemini & Google AI Mode · Gardening and lawn mowing franchises in Australia · October 2026Top 3 in AI answersFindrixGardening and lawn mowing franchises in AustraliaAI Rankings · ChatGPT, Gemini & Google AI Mode · 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 Australia that is Jim's Mowing, Fox Mowing & Gardening and V.I.P. Home Services on ChatGPT. Jim's Mowing, Fox Mowing & Gardening and V.I.P. Home Services on Gemini. Jim's Mowing, Fox Mowing & Gardening and V.I.P. Home Services on Google AI Mode. 9 badges, 3 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: three kinds.

Use case (the job is named)

1 question
  • Thinking of buying into a lawn mowing franchise, which brands in Australia cost the least to join?

Criterion (price, reviews, support, integration)

a plain category question with one qualifier5 questions
  • Which Brisbane gardening service franchises quote a set price per visit rather than charging by the hour?
  • Across Australia, which lawn mowing franchises have a proper customer service line and not just the local owner's mobile?
  • Which lawn mowing franchises operating in Australia take on commercial properties as well as homes?

+ 2 more questions in this group.

Other phrasing

54 questions
  • Which gardening service chains cover the country towns across New South Wales?
  • Do any lawn mowing franchises in New South Wales also spray weeds along paths and driveways?
  • Looking for lawn mowing franchises in New South Wales that will take on a really overgrown yard as a one-off job.

+ 51 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 Australia, and names that aren’t gardening and lawn mowing franchises. 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 gardening and lawn mowing franchises, 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?
