When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about email marketing, Klaviyo ranks #2 of 15, a Visibility Score of 50 in Email Marketing (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.
Strong in email, forgettable in automation, owns nothing outright.
Where it wins. In Email Marketing, Klaviyo holds rank 2 and converts 28% of mentions into a first pick, which is real buyer-facing strength across all three AI models. That score of 50 puts it close to the category ceiling.
Where it loses. Marketing Automation tells a different story: a 4% first-pick rate means the models cite Klaviyo as a supporting name rather than a lead recommendation, and it never surfaces when buyers frame the question around best overall or enterprise fit.
AI-generated analysis of the September 2026 measurements.
Klaviyo's homepage sells it as CRM. Ask the models that question and they name HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive, not Klaviyo.
Why, and what closes it. Models recommend what the web says about a brand, not what its homepage asserts. That is a content and coverage gap, not a product one. Earned mentions and clearer positioning can move it.
