Zero of twelve models named Ubersuggest first on the direct prompt; zero named SE Ranking. Ubersuggest was named by nine of the twelve models and SE Ranking by eleven and Ubersuggest carries 15 labels and SE Ranking 24, so the shares are not directly comparable.
By Neil Patel. Named in three categories this edition.
United States, founded 2012. Named in three 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 SEO and content optimization platforms page.
Across every category in the September 2026 Edition, Ubersuggest and SE Ranking were named in the same answer twenty-seven times, of the 40 answers naming Ubersuggest and the 100 naming SE Ranking. In those answers SE Ranking took the first choice nine times and Ubersuggest six.
