Verbatim excerpt from one collected ChatGPT answer; formatting flattened, words untouched.

Klaviyo dominates this question with near-perfect visibility, appearing in all 9 answers and leading 8 of them at an average position of 1.2, making it the clear default recommendation for ecommerce automated flows. Omnisend is a consistent but secondary presence at every model, while high-category-rank brands like Kit and HubSpot are completely invisible here, suggesting AI models treat this as a specialized ecommerce use case rather than a general email marketing question.
