You enter your brand name and category, and the tool generates a focused set of prompts designed to surface whether ChatGPT knows and recommends you. You then copy each prompt, paste it into ChatGPT yourself, and review the responses. No API call or scraping happens here — it is a structured manual testing kit, which keeps it free, unlimited, and compliant.

Automated querying would require API keys, incur cost, and risk violating usage terms, and ChatGPT responses vary by account, model, and whether browsing is enabled. Running the prompts yourself gives you the most honest picture of what real users see, including any citations in browsing mode, without us injecting cost or bias.

A mix designed to reveal different signals: open category questions ('best X tools in 2026'), recommendation prompts, direct brand-legitimacy and reputation questions, comparison and alternatives prompts, and pricing or feature queries. Together they show whether you appear unprompted, how you are described, and how you stack up against competitors in ChatGPT's answers.

Test both. With browsing or search enabled, ChatGPT can cite live web sources, so you will see whether your pages are surfaced and linked. With browsing off, you see what the base model already 'knows' about your brand from training. Comparing the two tells you whether your gap is awareness (training) or discoverability (live web).

Strengthen the signals AI systems rely on: publish clear, answer-first, well-sourced content; earn mentions and links from authoritative sites; ensure your key pages are crawlable by AI bots; and add structured data. Then re-run the prompts periodically. Our AI Overviews Eligibility and Answer-First tools help fix the on-page side.

Monthly is a reasonable cadence, plus after any major content push, PR, or product launch. Model updates and fresh web indexing can change answers over time, so periodic checks let you track whether your visibility efforts are moving the needle in ChatGPT specifically.

The Brand Mention Tester covers multiple AI assistants at once for a broad sweep. This tool is tuned specifically for ChatGPT, with prompt phrasing and provider links focused on getting the clearest read on ChatGPT's behavior. Use the broad tester first, then this for a deeper ChatGPT-specific check.
