Account-Based Marketing
Account-based marketing is a consolidated category with a clear consensus pick. Demandbase surfaces in every buyer query across all four engines and wins more head-to-heads than it loses, claiming the consensus-pick slot. Salesforce matches Demandbase's 100% discovery share but has no evaluation-stage data, leaving its head-to-head strength unknown. Marketo is the riser — up 17 points in recent months — while ZoomInfo and Pardot hold strong secondary visibility at 80% and 72% of discovery prompts respectively. The category is consolidated around a handful of enterprise brands; wildcards and single-engine darlings are rare.
