What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Choose GWI or YouGov if you need deep audience profiling, psychographics, and attitudinal data” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Audience insights · comparative prompt · first choice
“consistently rated as top-tier for broad, reliable consumer insights and audience data” Mistral Small · Audience insights · negative prompt · first choice
“Choose GWI or YouGov for *consumer research*.” Perplexity Sonar · Audience insights · comparative prompt · first choice
“YouGov tracks brand sentiment continuously. It is excellent for measuring the immediate impact of a marketing campaign or PR crisis.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Audience insights · comparative 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.

No model argued against it.

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 yougov.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. Of its titles that name a category, most name SEO (163); 0 name the category the models place it in. 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.

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

  • where YouGov Profiles 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 YouGov Profiles, 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.
