Two of twelve models named LinkedIn Campaign Manager first on the direct prompt; zero named Meta Ads. LinkedIn Campaign Manager was named by ten of the twelve models and Meta Ads by eleven and LinkedIn Campaign Manager carries 21 labels and Meta Ads 20, so the shares are not directly comparable.
By LinkedIn, Sunnyvale, United States, founded 2002. Named in eight categories this edition.
By Meta Platforms, Menlo Park, United States, founded 2004. Named in six categories this edition.
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; rank is within the category; every quote names the model and the prompt it came from. Both figures come from the search and social advertising platforms page.
Across every category in the September 2026 Edition, LinkedIn Campaign Manager and Meta Ads were named in the same answer forty-one times, of the 163 answers naming LinkedIn Campaign Manager and the 170 naming Meta Ads. In those answers Meta Ads took the first choice ten times and LinkedIn Campaign Manager seven.
