Zero of fourteen models named Google Meridian first on the direct prompt; zero named Measured. Google Meridian was named by thirteen of the fourteen models and Measured by thirteen and Google Meridian carries 34 labels and Measured 21, so the shares are not directly comparable.
By Google, Mountain View, California, United States, founded 1998. Named in one category this edition.
Named in two categories this edition.
Share is the count of first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts over all fourteen models, for a mid-market B2B company; rank is within the category; every quote names the model and the prompt it came from. Both figures come from the attribution and marketing mix modeling page.
Across every category in the October 2026 Edition, Google Meridian and Measured were named in the same answer twenty-three times, of the 89 answers naming Google Meridian and the 59 naming Measured. In those answers Measured took the first choice four times and Google Meridian two.
