ChatGPT visibility tracker: know when ChatGPT names you
A ChatGPT visibility tracker asks ChatGPT the questions your buyers ask, on a schedule, and records three things each time: whether your business was named, which businesses were named instead, and which pages ChatGPT cited. Frontpagely does this for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini together, samples each question several times per run on paid plans, and emails you when a competitor overtakes you.

Why checking ChatGPT by hand does not work
Asking ChatGPT "who is the best [your service] in [your city]" once tells you very little. The same question can return different names on different runs, answers depend on how the question is phrased, and your own chat history can color the result. One screenshot is an anecdote.
A tracker fixes the three gaps: it uses a fixed set of buyer questions, asks each one more than once per run, and keeps the history, so you can see a trend instead of a mood.
What a ChatGPT visibility tracker should record
- Named or not. Whether your business appears in the answer at all, per question.
- Position. Where you appear when you are named: first of three reads very differently from last of five.
- Who was named instead. The competitors ChatGPT recommends for the same question, with their share of voice next to yours.
- Citations. The pages ChatGPT links to. These are the sources to fix, join or earn a mention on.
- Confidence. A label on thin samples so a two-answer result is not reported as fact.
How Frontpagely tracks ChatGPT
You enter your business name, website, services and service area. Frontpagely writes the prompt set from those inputs (the questions a buyer would type, by service and by place), then runs it across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini on your plan’s schedule. Free re-measures monthly; paid plans re-measure more often, and the pricing page lists the cadence for each.
Every run feeds your SeenRate, a 0 to 100 score that blends AI answers with search signals and site health. When a tracked competitor moves ahead of you in AI share of voice, or a new one appears, you get an email with the numbers. The gaps become a ranked fix plan, so the tracker tells you what to change, not only what happened.
ChatGPT alone or every engine?
ChatGPT has the most users, but buyers also ask Gemini (inside Google), Perplexity and Claude, and the four often name different businesses for the same question because they search and cite different sources. Tracking only ChatGPT hides the engine where you may be losing. Frontpagely includes all four on every plan, free included.
What to do with the results
If ChatGPT names competitors and not you, look at the pages it cites for those answers. They are usually directories, review sites, roundups and the competitors’ own service pages. The how to get recommended by ChatGPT checklist covers the fixes in order, and the AI search optimization guide explains why they work.
Frequently asked questions
Can I track whether ChatGPT recommends my business for free?
Yes. The free audit shows whether ChatGPT and the other engines name you today, and the free plan re-measures one business every month across all four engines.
How often should ChatGPT visibility be checked?
Monthly is enough to see a trend once you are stable. While you are actively making changes, weekly or more often shows sooner whether a change moved the answer.
Why does ChatGPT give different answers to the same question?
Answers are generated, not looked up, and ChatGPT may run different web searches each time. That is why a tracker samples each question more than once and reports the rate, not a single answer.
Does a ChatGPT visibility tracker affect what ChatGPT says?
No. Tracking only observes. What changes the answer is the work on your site, listings and reviews that the tracker points you to.
