When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about customer support, Zendesk ranks #1 of 15, a Visibility Score of 75 in Customer Support (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.
Dominant in home turf, invisible where enterprise IT shops.
Where it wins. In Customer Support, Zendesk sits at rank 1 with an 86% mention rate, and AIs name it first nearly 31% of the time, a commanding lead across all prompt themes.
Where it loses. In ITSM, it ranks 5th with a 43% mention rate and zero first-pick selections, and AIs never surface it as an enterprise pick, ceding that ground entirely to ServiceNow and Jira Service Management.
