ChatGPT

A ChatGPT visibility checker asks ChatGPT the questions your buyers ask and records whether your brand is named, where it appears, how it is described and who is recommended instead. Because ChatGPT answers vary between runs and users, a reliable check repeats the same questions consistently and tracks the result over time.

How ChatGPT decides which brands to name

Knowing where the answer comes from tells you what to fix.

Two sources of knowledge

ChatGPT answers either from what its model learned in training or by searching the web. Training based answers reflect how widely and consistently you were described online before the model's cutoff. Search based answers reflect what ChatGPT can find and read today.

Its own search crawler

ChatGPT search relies on OpenAI's OAI-SearchBot crawler and on third party search providers. OpenAI says sites that opt out of OAI-SearchBot are not shown in ChatGPT search answers, so blocking it removes you from those answers.

The pages it cites

When ChatGPT searches, it builds its answer from a handful of pages and cites them. Comparison articles, review sites, directories and forums in your category often shape which brands it names.

Context and memory

Memory, location and the earlier conversation all change ChatGPT's answer. One person asking once is a single sample, which is why a checker uses consistent, clean prompts and repeats them.

How to check your ChatGPT visibility by hand

You can run a first check yourself in about 15 minutes. Here is the method.

  1. 01

    Open a temporary chat

    Use a temporary chat or a logged out session so your own memory and history do not steer the answer.

  2. 02

    Ask like a buyer

    Ask a category question without naming your brand, for example "What is the best accounting software for a small agency?"

  3. 03

    Check with search on

    Ask again with search turned on and open the sources. Note which pages ChatGPT cites and whether any of them mention you.

  4. 04

    Record the result

    Write down whether you are named, your position in the list, the wording used about you, and the competitors named.

  5. 05

    Repeat and widen

    Run each question at least three times and cover 10 to 20 buyer questions. A pattern across runs is what counts, not one answer.

Checking by hand is slow and hard to repeat fairly. The ONEGO audit asks the same questions consistently across all five engines and keeps the history, so you can see the trend.

Questions to test in ChatGPT

Fill in the brackets with your category, customers and competitors. These six cover how buyers actually ask.

Question to ask What it tells you
What is the best [category] for [type of customer]? The core recommendation question. Being named here is the prize.
[Competitor] alternatives Buyers comparing options. Shows whether you are in the consideration set.
[Your brand] vs [competitor] Shows how the engine describes you head to head, and whether it gets the facts right.
Best [category] in [city or country] Essential for local and regional businesses. Answers change by location.
Is [your brand] good for [use case]? Reveals the sentiment and the facts the engine holds about you.
How do I [problem your product solves]? Problem led questions where engines may recommend a product as the answer.

How to improve your ChatGPT visibility

  • Let OAI-SearchBot in

    Allow OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt and in any firewall or CDN bot rules. GPTBot is OpenAI's training crawler and is controlled separately.

  • Say plainly what you are

    State your category, who you serve and where in one clear sentence on your home and about pages, and repeat it consistently everywhere you are listed.

  • Be on the pages ChatGPT cites

    Find the comparison articles, reviews and directories ChatGPT cites for your buyer questions, then earn a genuine place on them.

  • Get indexed in Bing as well as Google

    ChatGPT search draws on third party search providers, so verify your site in Bing Webmaster Tools and submit new pages with IndexNow.

ChatGPT visibility checker questions

Is the ChatGPT visibility checker free?
Yes. Run your free AI audit to see your ONE Score and how ChatGPT and four other engines answer your buyers' questions, with no card needed. A 3 day free trial follows only if you choose a plan to keep tracking.
Does ChatGPT give everyone the same answer?
No. ChatGPT's answers vary between runs, users, locations and conversations, and memory can personalise them. That is why a single manual check is unreliable and consistent, repeated tracking gives a truer picture.
Does blocking GPTBot remove me from ChatGPT?
Not from ChatGPT search. GPTBot collects content for model training, while OAI-SearchBot indexes pages for ChatGPT search. OpenAI says sites that block OAI-SearchBot are not shown in ChatGPT search answers, so that is the crawler to keep allowed.
Why does ChatGPT recommend my competitor and not me?
Usually because your competitor is described more often and more consistently on the pages ChatGPT reads, such as comparison articles, reviews and directories, or because their site states their category more clearly. A check shows which pages it cites so you know where to close the gap.
How long does it take for ChatGPT to start recommending me?
Answers that use search can change within days or weeks of new pages being crawled and cited. Answers that come from the model's training only change when a new model is trained, so both earning citations and building a consistent presence matter.
Can I check ChatGPT visibility by hand?
Yes. Use a temporary chat, ask category questions without naming your brand, turn search on, and record whether you are named and which sources are cited. Repeat each question several times. A checker does the same thing consistently across many questions and engines.
