Brand visibility in ChatGPT
ChatGPT names brands from what it learned in training and from pages it retrieves when it searches the web. Allswap sends your buyer questions to ChatGPT on a schedule, records which brands it recommends, which pages it cites, and where your brand lands in the answer.

How ChatGPT picks brands
Trained knowledge plus live retrieval
Straightforward questions are answered from what the model already holds. Anything current, specific or comparative usually triggers a web search, and those answers carry citations.
Citations arrive with the search
When ChatGPT searches, it links the pages it leaned on. Those links are the clearest signal of which sources are shaping the recommendation.
The largest source of assistant referrals
Of the traffic assistants send to websites, ChatGPT accounts for the great majority — which makes a citation here worth following through to your analytics.

Questions
How do I get ChatGPT to recommend my brand?
Make the facts about you easy to retrieve and easy to quote. Allow OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User in robots.txt, answer buyer questions plainly and early on your own pages, and make sure the same facts appear on the third-party sources ChatGPT already cites in your category. Allswap's citation-gap view names those sources.
Does ChatGPT cite its sources?
It links the pages it used whenever it searches the web for an answer. Allswap records every one of those links, so you can see which sources are carrying your category and which of your own pages are being used.
How often should I check ChatGPT visibility?
Weekly suits most teams. Answers are generated fresh each time, so a scheduled scan builds a steady line from many runs, which is what makes a real movement stand out.
Can I see the exact wording ChatGPT used?
Yes. Every answer is stored in full, turn by turn, with your brand, every competitor and every cited source marked inside the text.
