Which marketing automation brands are most cited by AI assistants?

HubSpot ranks #1 with a score of 99/100, ahead of Salesforce (77/100) and ActiveCampaign (74/100). Measured across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude for the query “best marketing automation platform for B2B SaaS 2026”.

Do AI assistants agree on which marketing automation brands to recommend?

1 of 20 brands in marketing automation are cited consistently across all four engines. Gemini cites the most engine-exclusive brands not mentioned by the others, suggesting it draws on a different source mix. Consensus brands tend to have stronger third-party coverage (reviews, comparisons, editorial mentions) rather than relying on a single source.

Which marketing automation brands are invisible to AI assistants?

5 of 20 brands are cited by one engine or fewer, including ZoomInfo, Terminus, LaGrowthMachine. Being functionally invisible to AI assistants ahead of a high-intent buyer query is a growing risk for vendors with otherwise solid market presence.

How is the AI visibility score calculated, and how is it different from SEO?

The score (0–100) combines five dimensions: coverage across engines, presence rate, average rank when cited, share of voice, and citation consistency. Unlike SEO, it measures whether a model names your brand inside its synthesized answer — not whether a link ranks on a results page. Full methodology at /methodology/.
