Track Brand Visibility in ChatGPT
Rankry tracks how ChatGPT mentions, ranks, cites, and recommends your brand across your buyer-intent prompts. It records whether you appear, your position, the sentiment, the competitors named instead of you, and any sources cited, then trends the result over time. ChatGPT is the first place many buyers ask for a recommendation, which makes it a high-priority model to track.

Why ChatGPT results differ from other models
Section titled “Why ChatGPT results differ from other models”ChatGPT tends to answer buyer questions with a confident, ranked shortlist. When it searches the web it leans on a search index, so a site that is thin in that index can be missing even when its own content is strong. Because answers come from both training memory and live retrieval, tracking real prompts over time is more reliable than a single check.
