Track Your Brand in ChatGPT
See exactly when ChatGPT recommends your brand, which prompts trigger mentions, and how you compare to competitors — with automated monitoring and actionable recommendations.
WHY TRACK
Why track your brand in ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is OpenAI's conversational AI powered by GPT-4o, the most widely used AI chatbot with over 200 million weekly active users. It generates responses from its training data and, in its browsing-enabled mode, from real-time web results.
- 1
ChatGPT has over 200 million weekly active users asking product and service questions. Brands not mentioned in its responses miss high-intent discovery opportunities.
- 2
GPT-4o generates responses from both its training data and web search results, meaning your brand's online presence and content quality directly influence whether it gets cited.
- 3
Competitor brands actively optimize their content to appear in ChatGPT responses. Without tracking, you cannot know if rivals are gaining ground against you.
- 4
ChatGPT responses vary significantly by prompt phrasing — monitoring across a diverse prompt set reveals which query types your brand wins and which it misses.
- 5
ChatGPT's browsing mode pulls from real-time web results, making your brand's freshness and authority on the web a live ranking factor.

METRICS
Key metrics RankSurf tracks in ChatGPT
Mention rate
The percentage of monitored prompts where ChatGPT mentions your brand in its response. The primary measure of ChatGPT visibility.
Mention position
Where your brand appears within ChatGPT's response — first mention, within top 3, or further down. Higher positions signal stronger authority signals.
Citation tracking
Whether ChatGPT's browsing mode cites your domain URL, and which specific pages are linked. Captures both the citation presence and the exact URLs referenced.
Competitor gap
How your mention rate compares to tracked competitors across the same prompt set — revealing where rivals outperform you in ChatGPT recommendations.
USE CASES

Content strategy validation
