Native and content advertising for enterprise buyers

Asked as “native advertising platform”, and as “content recommendation and native ads network”, on behalf of an enterprise B2B company. 53 first choices recorded across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts, twelve models each.
Standing
Contested
15% of first choices, contested.

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 an enterprise B2B company. Ordered by share.

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.
MGID
40%
12 of 30 labels negative · 8 of 12 models · 6 hard negative
“the native platforms to be most **cautious about** are the ones known for **weaker traffic quality, limited controls, or mixed publisher quality**—especially **MGID**” Perplexity Sonar, negative prompt

12 of 64 labels negative · 7 of 12 models · 2 hard negative

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. 5 of those lists are Google grounding redirects that name no site and are left out of the counts. 210 links across 110 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.

Pages the answers cite

The ten pages named in the most answers, by full address. A page here is one the models returned with a recommendation, not one the index endorses.

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.
ModelDirect“What is the best native advertising platform for an enterprise B2B company?”Paraphrase“Which content recommendation and native ads network would you recommend to a large B2B company with thousands of employees?”Comparative“What are the top enterprise-grade native advertising platforms and how do they differ?”Budget-constrained“What is the best native advertising platform for a large company that needs predictable total cost across thousands of users?”Scale-constrained“We are a 5,000 person company with SSO, SOC 2 and procurement review requirements evaluating a native advertising platform. What should we look at?”Negative“Which native advertising platforms should a large enterprise avoid or be cautious about?”
