Content marketing platforms
Asked as “content marketing platform”, and as “content planning and production tool for marketing teams”, on behalf of a mid-market B2B company. 43 first choices recorded across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts, twelve models each.
By buyer segment
The same question asked on behalf of a different buyer. Each standing is computed within its segment; they sit side by side and are never added together.
01The standing
Share is the count of first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts, over all twelve models, for a mid-market B2B company. Ordered by share.

Jasper0%02What they warned about
Zero of twelve models held their first choice under the paraphrase. Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.4 mini, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Perplexity Sonar, Grok 4.1 Fast, Mistral Small, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Llama 4 Maverick, Qwen 3.7 Flash, Kimi K2, GLM 4.7 FlashX and MiniMax M2.5 changed. A high negative share on a product with few labels is a warning. A low share on a product with many labels is salience, not sentiment.
LinkedIn articles100%
4 of 4 labels negative · 4 of 12 models
“Organically, LinkedIn is arguably the best B2B content marketing platform available today. However, **LinkedIn Paid Ads** are a completely different story.” Gemini 3.5 Flash, negative prompt

4 of 4 labels negative · 4 of 12 models
“Social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn offer discovery but don't provide a direct, portable relationship with your audience” Claude Haiku 4.5, negative prompt

03What they cite
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list: four of the twelve in this edition, and all six flagship models on the expanded tier.
Sites the answers cite
21 of 72 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 4 of 12 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 6 of those lists are Google grounding redirects that name no site and are left out of the counts. 188 links across 117 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. The other 8 models searched through a gateway that returned no source list on this edition.

04How they answered
Six framings of the same buying question, each sent to every model in a fresh session with search on. One row per model, so a row shows whether it held its answer under rewording, what it named when cost was the constraint, and what it argued against. Computed from the raw judge labels.
