ChatGPT visibility
Is ChatGPT recommending your brand?
When a buyer asks ChatGPT "what's the best tool for X", the answer names two or three brands. We check whether yours is one of them — and hand you the fixes when it isn't.
Why ChatGPT visibility matters
Around 900 million people use ChatGPT every week (OpenAI, Feb 2026), and a growing share of buying research starts there instead of Google. A ChatGPT answer is a shortlist: it names a handful of brands with reasons, and the buyer rarely looks further.
Unlike a search results page, there's no position two worth having. If ChatGPT doesn't say your name, the buyer never knew you existed — and no analytics tool shows you the sale you lost.
How ChatGPT decides what to recommend
Live web search: for buyer-style questions, ChatGPT searches the web and leans on the pages it can read and trust — comparison articles, docs, directories, and your own site.
Citations matter: answers regularly cite the exact pages that shaped them. Being in those pages is how you enter the answer.
Entity clarity: brands with consistent naming, clear positioning, and machine-readable pages (schema, llms.txt) get described accurately; ambiguous ones get confused or skipped.
What SearchByAI checks
- The questions your buyers actually ask, run live against ChatGPT — by name, by category, by problem, and by comparison.
- Honest brand detection: echoing your name doesn't count; same-name confusion doesn't count; the score reflects real recognition.
- Receipts on everything: every score opens to the full stored answer, so you can read exactly what buyers are being told.
- The fixes: a ranked action plan, show-me-how workshops, and downloadable finished files (llms.txt, schema, robots.txt, sitemap).
ChatGPT checks are included in every SearchByAI plan — including the free audit and the free any-domain check.
Honest answers
Can anyone force ChatGPT to recommend my brand?
No — and anyone selling that is selling vapor. What actually works: being present in the sources ChatGPT reads, having pages it can cite, and being unambiguous about what your brand is. We measure where you stand, hand you those exact fixes, and prove whether the answers moved.
How do you check ChatGPT?
We generate the questions your buyers actually ask (category, problem, comparison, and by-name), run them against ChatGPT with live web search, and store the full answers — every score opens to the receipt.
How often do you re-check?
The free audit is a one-time snapshot. Paid plans re-check daily with weekly deep snapshots, so you see movement — and whether your fixes worked.
