Based on 85 ChatGPT responses to this question, collected August 11, 2026–August 18, 2026. Firms are counted once per response. How we measure.

The ranking

Share = the percentage of the 85 responses that named the firm. Bars are drawn to the same scale across the table and repeat the number in the share column. Firms within a tier are not distinguishable at this sample size and are listed in no particular order.

Key findings

  1. Tinuiti leads this sample alone, named in 46 of 85 ChatGPT responses (54.1%) to the question “Which Amazon agencies specialise in my category?”, collected August 11, 2026–August 18, 2026.
  2. 12 firms cleared the reporting threshold on “Which Amazon agencies specialise in my category?” in ChatGPT as of August 18, 2026; the full table with response counts is below.
  3. Tinuiti appears in 7 of the 13 Amazon agencies reports published by The Shortlist Report, the widest coverage of any firm named on this page.
  4. 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 Tinuiti, named in 46 of 85 ChatGPT responses (54.1%). No other firm in this sample comes close enough to be grouped with it.

Tier 2 holds Acadia, Pattern, Brandwoven, Olifant Digital, Envision Horizons, Fussy Penguins, Nuanced Media, Altus Commerce, Blair Anderson & Associates, Enso Brands and Lab 916, named in 12 to 21 of 85 responses (14.124.7%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.

The test is McNemar’s at 95%, applied against the same 85 responses for every firm. The full reasoning, and what happened when we ranked one-to-N instead.

What the sample shows

Tinuiti leads on its own, named in 46 of the 85 responses to this question (54.1%).

113 firms were named at least once across the sample. 12 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 11, 2026–August 18, 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.
