How do I measure ChatGPT visibility when there are no links?

Brand mentions. On recommendation prompts they are frequently the only signal, and they are the one that reflects what the user reads.

Do you match brand variants?

Yes, through a configured alias list with negative terms, and every match returns its sentence for audit.

ChatGPT brand mentions tracking

chatgptbrand_mentionsAnonymous

ChatGPT names brands far more often than it links them, particularly on recommendation prompts where the answer is a list of names with no sources attached at all.

How it renders

Plain text within the answer, often as a numbered or bulleted list of brands.

Sampling

Mentions are more stable across samples than citations, because the model's underlying association with a category changes more slowly than its choice of sources.

Gotcha

On pure-model answers there are no citations to count, so mention tracking is the only visibility signal that exists. Citation-only tools report nothing for exactly the prompts clients care most about.

What the API returns

A single collection call against ChatGPT for the brand mentions field, sampled n times and returned as one object per prompt.
