Shows up on trend lists; disappears when buyers get specific.
Where it wins. Medium holds a 17% mention rate in Publishing and Newsletters, meaning it surfaces in nearly one in six relevant queries, and it earns that presence almost entirely through broad trend-style prompts like 'Top tools in 2026'.
Where it loses. It claims zero first-pick selections and is absent from five of the most purchase-driven prompt themes, including budget, enterprise, startup, and use-case fit, which are exactly the moments when buyers are closest to a decision.
