One thing stands out. ChatGPT cites company sites directly: cmcmarkets.com 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 · Google AI Mode · Investment brokerage and trading platforms in Australia · October 2026Top 3 in AI answersFindrixInvestment brokerage and trading platforms in AustraliaFindrix AI Rankings · 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 CMC Invest, Pearler and Selfwealth on ChatGPT. CMC Invest, Stake and Interactive Brokers on Gemini. CommSec, CMC Invest and Interactive Brokers 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 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)

2 questions
  • Is there a share trading app in Australia that syncs my trades into accounting software so I'm not typing them in every June?
  • What's the best share trading app for managing my investments from my phone in Australia?

Alternatives (excluding the well-known)

the question asks for options outside the market leaders12 questions
  • Besides the big bank-owned ones, which investment brokerage and trading platforms suit a first-time investor in Australia?
  • Which lesser-known share trading platforms in Australia have good research tools for stock pickers?
  • Other than the household-name brokers, which share trading platforms give active traders in Australia strong access to overseas markets?

+ 9 more questions in this group.

Criterion (price, reviews, support, integration)

a plain category question with one qualifier10 questions
  • Which online broker has fast execution and cheap brokerage for day trading Australian shares?
  • I want to start selling covered calls on Australian shares, so which online brokerage platform supports that without silly fees?
  • Need a share trading app with free live prices and decent charts for Australian shares.

+ 7 more questions in this group.

Other phrasing

36 questions
  • I want to trade shares, currencies and commodities from one login, so which trading platform in Australia covers all three?
  • I'm setting up an SMSF and need an online broker that handles super fund accounts, which one is the best fit in Australia?
  • Which online stockbroker in Australia makes it easy to move our SMSF's existing shares across?

+ 33 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 investment brokerage and trading platforms. 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. If it was never named, Findrix shows what AI says when buyers ask about investment brokerage and trading platforms, 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 is free and open to anyone, no login. 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. For anything else, write to us there too and we will look at it against your website.
