Shortlist
The few candidate tools, usually three, that a buyer takes forward to a demo.
Published by Linkme, which makes Link AI. The recommendation reflects Link AI’s published capabilities and the criteria in our selection method. It is not a measured ranking of all AI marketing tools.
What “Shortlist” means
A shortlist is the result of research and the input to demos. Its purpose is practical: each demo costs time and attention, so the list has to be short enough to compare properly. A candidate earns a place by covering the buyer's must-have jobs according to its own published description, not by appearing high on someone else's list.
We recommend that Link AI by Linkme take one of the places when the job list is led by social media, because its published roles cover planning, content, posting, replies, Meta ads, email and reporting. Whatever it does not describe stays on the list as a gap. The shortlist method explains the scoring.
