Does ChatGPT mention and cite your brand?

For many people, ChatGPT is the first place they ask for providers, products and recommendations. For a business, more than the answer itself matters: Is your brand mentioned? Does ChatGPT link to your website as a source? And which competitors are recommended instead?

ChatGPT: how BrandZaps measures it.

Every measurement is tied to the answer that was actually returned. The measurement rules are open, so every figure can be put in context.

VIA THE WEB INTERFACE We measure what users see

BrandZaps collects the answer through the ChatGPT web interface – not a different behaviour through an API.

WITH FORCED WEB SEARCH Sources in every answer

Web search is forced for every query. As a result, the answer contains sources, and citations of your own website can be measured.

WITH VISIBLE SUB-QUERIES The fan-out is preserved

ChatGPT discloses the sub-queries it searches the web for to build an answer. BrandZaps stores them in their original order.

Query fan-out analysis →

What becomes visible for each prompt.

The last ten answers per prompt and platform are kept. The measured values are stored permanently.

01the “mentioned” and “cited” rates, each with a bar and the number of measurements as the base

02the history of measurements, word for word

03the full answer, with your own brand, competitors and other brands highlighted in colour

04the stance towards every brand mentioned: first choice, recommended, neutral or advised against

05the tone: positive, critical or neutral

06the position of your own brand compared with competitors

07failed queries as a separate figure, never as a measurement of zero

Weekly, instant and retroactive.

ChatGPT’s answers can vary between queries. What matters is therefore the rate across several measurements, not a single answer. Measurements are taken without a logged-in user account and without personal history.

AUTOMATICWeekly

Counted from the last measurement, not on a fixed weekday.

ON DEMANDRe-evaluate

All active prompts are queried again immediately. The run is billed in credits.

WITHOUT A NEW QUERYRetroactive evaluation

If competitors or brand spellings change, BrandZaps re-evaluates the stored answers.

ChatGPT in the shared AI context.

The measurement stays platform-specific and becomes usable in comparison with the entire AI market. The results feed into AI visibility, AI source analysis, AI competitor analysis and AI brand perception.
