Standing by category

Every category where a model named Amazon for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Amazon yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Amazon across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Prioritize platforms with strong automation, robust measurement, and transparent processes, such as Amazon, Walmart Connect, and Target's Roundel” Mistral Small · Retail media · negative prompt · first choice
“Start with Amazon (70-80% of budget) until you have efficiency data” MiniMax M2.5 · Retail media · negative prompt · first choice
“Amazon Advertising (dominant, full-funnel scale)” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Retail media · negative prompt · first choice
“sticking to established leaders (Amazon, Walmart, Target) or highly mature partners is generally safer” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Retail media · negative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart Marketplace, and Target Plus - Why avoid: High fees” Mistral Small · Ecommerce · negative prompt · hard negative
“Marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart)... these are the platforms to avoid.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Ecommerce · negative prompt · hard negative
“relying on native tools like Shopify's basic admin backend or Amazon Seller Central is perfectly fine. However, attempting to scale a multi-channel business on them is a major risk.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Order management · negative prompt · soft negative
“Amazon if you need to build your own brand or customer relationships, because sellers can face high combined fees, little customer data” Perplexity Sonar · Ecommerce · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Amazon. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 44 of the 47 answers that named Amazon and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page amazon.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

Names read as Amazon

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Amazon; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Amazon's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Amazon, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Amazon by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Amazon is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Amazon, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at amazon.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
