One thing stands out. ChatGPT cites company sites directly: studiofriday.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 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 · Web design and development agencies in the Illawarra · October 2026Top 3 in AI answersFindrixWeb design and development agencies in the IllawarraFindrix 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 Illawarra that is Studio Friday, Madweb Digital and Wollongong Web Design on ChatGPT. Zammeth, All Design by Lisa and Handmade Web & Design on Gemini. Zammeth, Jem Website Design and Eureka Creative 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)

1 question
  • Our site shows ship arrival times around the clock, so which website development services in Port Kembla offer after-hours support if it breaks?

Alternatives (excluding the well-known)

the question asks for options outside the market leaders8 questions
  • Can you point me to web design and development agencies in the Illawarra who have built sites for independent cinemas?
  • Are there any independent web design studios in Kiama that have built sites for galleries and craft shops?
  • Looking for a boutique web agency in Wollongong that works with indoor plant shops

+ 5 more questions in this group.

Criterion (price, reviews, support, integration)

a plain category question with one qualifier6 questions
  • Our accountant wants the cost of our new site spread across two financial years, which web design companies in Kiama could split the payments that way?
  • I clean holiday houses between guests around Kiama and only need a cheap, simple site, which web designers there would take that on?
  • We're a two person bookkeeping business with hardly any budget, which website designer in Port Kembla could help?

+ 3 more questions in this group.

Other phrasing

45 questions
  • Guests haven't been able to pay deposits through our B&B's website since Saturday, which web developers in Kiama can fix it fast?
  • Our contractor induction forms stopped submitting and new workers can't get on site, which web developers in Port Kembla can fix it straight away?
  • Is there a web design firm in the Illawarra that'll take half up front and the rest once the site is live?

+ 42 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 Illawarra, and names that aren’t web design and development agencies. 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 web design and development agencies, 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.
