The problem
Millions of users ask ChatGPT for product recommendations every day — and you have no idea whether your brand is being recommended, ignored, or misrepresented. Traditional brand monitoring tools track social media and news, not AI outputs. You're flying blind in one of the fastest-growing discovery channels.
The solution
Answer Insight monitors your brand across ChatGPT daily, running your target queries automatically and reporting whether your brand appears, how prominently, and with what sentiment. You get a clear, consistent picture of your ChatGPT brand presence — without manual checks.
How it works

Input the category queries and comparison queries your buyers are most likely to ask ChatGPT. Answer Insight suggests queries based on your industry and competitors.
2
Set up automated monitoring
Answer Insight runs your queries on ChatGPT daily (or weekly, your choice) and records the full response text for analysis.
3
Review your brand mention dashboard
See your brand mention rate, sentiment score, and position data for each query — updated automatically. Spot trends and outliers at a glance.
4
Track competitors in the same runs
See how competitors appear in the same ChatGPT responses. Identify where they are being cited ahead of you and where you lead.
5
Act on the data
Use mention gaps and competitor insights to prioritise content and entity optimisation. Monitor the impact of changes over time.
