Suspended, Hijacked or Sliding? What The Shortlist Report Finds
10 firms lead, appearing in 3.3–5.8% of 240 AI responses. The sample cannot separate them, so we do not pretend it can.
No clear leader

Key findings
- No firm answers “Our Amazon account was suspended. Who can help reinstate it?” reliably in ChatGPT. The most-named, Buy Box Experts, appeared in 14 of 240 responses (5.8%) collected August 8, 2026–September 15, 2026, and 9 other firms scored close enough that the sample cannot put any of them in order.
- Buy Box Experts, Canopy Management and First Page Consultants were named most often, in 13–14 of 240 responses. All 10 firms in the leading group are listed with their counts in the table below.
- 10 firms cleared the reporting threshold on “Our Amazon account was suspended. Who can help reinstate it?” in ChatGPT as of September 15, 2026; the full table with response counts is below.
- Olifant Digital appears in 6 of the 13 Amazon agencies reports published by The Shortlist Report, the widest coverage of any firm named on this page.
- No firm paid to appear in this ranking; placement cannot be bought, and the counts come from ChatGPT responses rather than from submissions.
Why the tiers fall where they do
Tier 1 holds Buy Box Experts, Canopy Management, First Page Consultants, Amazon Growth Lab, My Amazon Guy, PPC Jumpstart, CoreTrex, Marknology, Olifant Digital and Ad Badger, named in 8 to 14 of the 240 ChatGPT responses. They are grouped rather than ranked because the gaps between them are inside the margin of error at this sample size — one extra mention would reorder them, so an order would be reporting noise as a finding.
The test is McNemar’s at 95%, applied against the same 240 responses for every firm. The full reasoning, and what happened when we ranked one-to-N instead.
What the sample shows
10 firms lead this question: Buy Box Experts, Canopy Management, First Page Consultants, Amazon Growth Lab, My Amazon Guy, PPC Jumpstart, CoreTrex, Marknology, Olifant Digital and Ad Badger. They appear in 3.3–5.8% of the 240 responses. The gaps between them are inside the margin of error at this sample size, so they are listed together rather than ranked against each other.
219 firms were named at least once across the sample. 10 of them cleared the threshold of 2 responses and appear above; the rest were named once and are inside the noise.
How to read this
Firms are grouped into tiers, not ranked one to fifteen. A tier holds every firm whose 95% confidence interval overlaps the leader's, which is a long way of saying the sample cannot tell them apart. Order within a tier is arbitrary — read the counts, not the position.
Share is the percentage of responses that named the firm — not a quality score. A firm scoring low here may be excellent and simply under-written about online, which is a finding about its visibility rather than its work.
The same question was asked repeatedly because AI assistants do not answer identically twice. A single response would tell you almost nothing.
What this measurement does not tell you
- It is not a quality ranking. Share reflects how much has been written about a firm online, which is what an AI assistant reads. A capable firm nobody writes about scores low here.
- It is a reading from a date range, not a permanent standing. This sample was collected August 8, 2026–September 15, 2026; models change and so do their answers.
- It covers ChatGPT only. Other assistants answer differently, and we do not extrapolate across engines we have not measured.
- Order within a tier is arbitrary. Read the counts, not the position. Why we use tiers.
