How to track brand visibility in ChatGPT
Nostimates tracks ChatGPT by scraping the logged-out web interface, which returns citations. We deliberately do not log in: a signed-in session carries memory, personalisation and account history, all of which contaminate the measurement.
What matters on this engine
Identity-free collection is the correct methodology, not a limitation. A number measured through somebody's personalised account is a number nobody else can reproduce.
ChatGPT infers language from the prompt text rather than a header, so locale on this surface means the language you write the prompt in, not a parameter you set.
The blocker here is Cloudflare and browser fingerprinting, not authentication.
Citation structure
Inline link pills and an expandable source list on web-search-backed answers.
Access model
Collected logged-out through residential proxies in your target market. No account, no personalisation, fully reproducible.
