Contentful Contentful: AI Visibility Report

contentful.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about website builders, Contentful ranks #7 of 15, a Visibility Score of 18 in Website Builders (and appears in 2 categories of the index).

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Contentful

Contentful fills out lists but never drives the decision.

Where it wins. In Website Builders it surfaces 23.6% of the time, and the 'Enterprise pick' theme is the one consistent signal across both categories, meaning AI models do recognize it for complex, large-org contexts.

Where it loses. A 0% first-pick rate in Publishing and Newsletters and a rank of 11 out of 15 there exposes how shallow that enterprise recognition runs, it generates a mention without generating a recommendation, and it is invisible across six or more prompt themes in each category.
