Which IVF and fertility clinics do AI answers recommend in Melbourne?

On 10 October 2026 we asked an AI search engine with live web search 10 questions Australians ask about IVF and fertility clinics in Melbourne, and recorded every name it recommended and every source it cited.

21different names in the answers
10 of 10answers naming Melbourne IVF
26different sources cited

What we found

  • Melbourne IVF was named in 10 of the 10 answers, more than any other provider.
  • The three most-named names took 43% of all mentions, across 21 different names in total.
  • 11 of the 21 names appeared in only one answer, so being named once is not the same as being the default recommendation.
  • The most-cited source was mivf.com.au (9 of 10 answers). Third-party sites such as compareivf.com.au, treatcompare.com, doctify.com were among the most cited, which means what other sites say about a business shapes the answer, not only its own website.

Why this matters

When someone asks an AI assistant who to choose, the answer usually names a short list. Businesses on that list get the enquiry; the rest are not considered. The names come from what the engine finds and trusts on the web: the business's own pages, and what directories, reviews and media say about it.

Method

Questions were written to sound like real buyers and did not name any business. Each was asked once through Perplexity sonar (live web search, AU location) on 10 October 2026. Names were read from each answer by a language model and checked against the answer text; directories, review sites, government bodies and media were not counted as names. Answers change from day to day, so this is a snapshot, not a ranking. Inclusion here is not an endorsement by Search Insights.
