ChatGPT · AI search visibility checker · checked November 8, 2026
To see whether ChatGPT recommends you, ask it your buyers' questions signed out or in an unpersonalized Temporary chat, then count the answers that tell the buyer to pick you. supereo's free audit does it on ChatGPT's app and five more engines.
Our pick
Want ChatGPT checked the way your buyers use it? supereo's free audit ours is our pick. It puts the 20 questions your buyers ask to ChatGPT's consumer app, not an API model, and marks each answer mentioned, recommended or cited, alongside Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, AI Mode and AI Overviews. About 2 minutes, no card. Grade your brand.
"ChatGPT" on a checker's page can mean the app a buyer uses, a small API model answering from what it learned in training, or a stored answer in a database. From each checker's own page:
| Checker | Which ChatGPT | What it asks ChatGPT |
|---|---|---|
| supereo free audit ours | The consumer app ("ChatGPT and Gemini (the consumer apps)"); supereo's tracking asks it signed out | Your buyers' questions, written from your site |
| HubSpot AI Search Grader | GPT-5.4 mini, answering from training data | How it characterizes your brand |
| Mangools AI Search Grader | GPT-5 Nano, a small OpenAI model | Prompts written from your brand and niche |
| Profound AEO Report | "The consumer experience, not API outputs" | Prompts Profound writes for your brand |
| Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker | Stored answers: Brand Radar runs its prompts through the platforms and stores every response; 27.8 million of its 542 million prompts are ChatGPT | Search-backed prompts in which your brand appears |
| Semrush AI Visibility Checker | One of four platforms in its 26M+ prompt database | Prompts in its database |
| Search Engine Land AI Visibility Checker | One of three platforms | 150 queries from your company, site, category and a competitor |
| Birdeye AI Visibility Checker | A ChatGPT-only report | Themes and prompts for local businesses |
Sources: each checker's page, read November 8, 2026 (HubSpot, Mangools, Profound, Ahrefs, Semrush, Search Engine Land, Birdeye and supereo). The Ahrefs share is our arithmetic on the counter on its page: about 5% of its index.
Why it matters: ChatGPT's app can search the web and cite what it finds, and OpenAI says signed-out users get search too. A model answering only from training data can't see a page you published last month. If the question is what a buyer sees today, the app is the one to ask.
Find the sources it cited for that answer and keep them current.
Read what it says about the brand it does pick, and where it read that.
Make sure the cited page says what you'd want quoted.
The cited pages are your list of places to get onto.
OpenAI's memory page lists past chats, saved memories and custom instructions among the sources ChatGPT can draw on, and its search page says: "If memory is enabled, ChatGPT may use relevant saved memories when rewriting a search query." If you've spent months talking to it about your company, it knows what you want to hear.

ChatGPT is one engine of six. Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI Mode and AI Overviews read different sources, so a brand ChatGPT recommends can be missing on Perplexity, and the fix is different on each. A free AI search visibility checker that covers all six saves you running the steps above six times over. supereo's free audit covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews; the grade sheet compares it with seven other free checkers on engines, sign-up and what each one counts.
Yes. supereo's free audit asks ChatGPT's consumer app your buyers' questions and marks each answer mentioned, recommended or cited, with five more engines in the same run and no card. Profound's free report also reads ChatGPT's consumer app; HubSpot's grader asks GPT-5.4 mini how it describes your brand.
Sign out or open an unpersonalized Temporary chat, turn on Search, ask the questions buyers ask without your name in them, and mark each answer: recommended, mentioned, cited or not named. Ask each question more than once, in fresh chats.
Each answer is generated fresh, and with search on, ChatGPT rewrites your question into its own searches and reads whatever comes back. Two runs can name different brands, which is why one check is one draw.
It can. OpenAI says memory can draw on past chats, saved memories and custom instructions, and can shape how ChatGPT rewrites a search query. An unpersonalized Temporary chat doesn't use memory or custom instructions, and signing out avoids your account altogether.
Mentioned means ChatGPT names you, often as one option in a list. Recommended means it tells the buyer to pick you, or offers you as the thing to use for their case. The second is what turns into customers; most visibility tools count the first.
Yes. Answers that used search may include citations, and the Sources button lists the cited pages and other relevant links. Those pages are where to work first.
A tool that asks AI engines questions and reports whether your brand appears in the answers. They differ in which questions they ask, which version of each engine they use and what they count. supereo's marks recommendations apart from mentions.
We read OpenAI's help pages on web search, Temporary chat and memory on November 9, 2026, and each checker's own page on November 8, 2026, and copied which ChatGPT each one says it asks. We didn't run the other checkers for this page. Quoted posts are copied word for word. Full method.
