This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Klevu 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 Klevu 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.

“Often top for mid-market B2B/B2C hybrids... "Mid-market value champion" with 32% conversion lifts” Grok 4.20 · Ecommerce search · direct prompt · first choice
“Klevu: Best AI-First Option for Modern B2B ... Klevu is the gold standard” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Ecommerce search · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“I recommend Klevu as the best onsite product search engine” Mistral Small · Ecommerce search · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Klevu (mid-market sweet spot)” Grok 4.20 · Ecommerce search · scale prompt · first choice

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.

“Klevu's G2 review sample is very small, so individual complaints—including one about renewal terms—aren't enough to establish a general pattern” GPT-6 Luna · Ecommerce search · negative prompt · soft negative
“Klevu has less robust analytics and recommendations compared to other tools... may not scale well or support large catalogs” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Ecommerce search · negative prompt · soft negative
“Limited advanced merchandising — Strong on search basics, but users note gaps in complex merchandising features.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Ecommerce search · negative prompt · soft negative
“Searchspring and Klevu are the same company now... you're moving sideways inside the same building.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Ecommerce search · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

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

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read October 5, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page klevu.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. Read September 29, 2026.

Names read as Klevu

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 Klevu'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 Klevu, 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 Klevu by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Klevu 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 Klevu, 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.

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at klevu.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.
