Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“LinkedIn Ads (specifically Sponsored Content video ads) is widely regarded as the best video advertising platform for a mid-market B2B company.” Grok 4.20 · Video ads · direct prompt · first choice
“LinkedIn Ads - Best for B2B lead generation, account-based marketing, and reaching decision-makers” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Retail media · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“I'd recommend using LinkedIn Campaign Manager as your primary paid social tool” MiniMax M2.5 · Paid ads · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“the best default choice is LinkedIn Ads—especially for video advertising” GPT-5.4 mini · Video ads · direct 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.
“Use them to *optimize* ads within the network, but never to compare budgets *between* networks.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Attribution & MMM · negative prompt · soft negative
“audience data stays inside LinkedIn, so you cannot activate it elsewhere” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Programmatic · negative prompt · soft negative
“LinkedIn is often too expensive for direct-video sales” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Video ads · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named LinkedIn Campaign Manager. 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 123 of the 138 answers that named LinkedIn Campaign Manager and are not a share of its labels.
