When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about email marketing, Mailchimp ranks #2 of 15, a Visibility Score of 46 in Email Marketing (and appears in 3 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, weak everywhere else AI buyers look.
Where it wins. Email Marketing is the standout: a 53% mention rate and rank 2 of 15 make Mailchimp a near-default recommendation in that category. The 'Best overall' prompt theme owning that slot means AI models reach for it when buyers ask open questions.
Where it loses. Publishing and Newsletters is close to dead weight, with a 0% first-pick rate and absent from four of the five prompt themes AI models use most. Marketing Automation tells a similar story of mid-table invisibility, with the brand never surfacing for enterprise or 'best overall' queries in either of those two categories.
