AI assistants often synthesize a short answer rather than presenting a conventional ranked results page. A discovery scan records whether your brand appeared in that bounded answer sample.

Can ChatGPT discover your brand?
Run a live ChatGPT acquisition scan with five non-branded questions. The primary result is Discovery Visibility — how often your brand appears without being named in the question — with supporting evidence shown separately.

Why it matters
Start with a dated discovery baseline
One missing mention is not a universal verdict. The useful signal is a dated baseline that can be compared with later compatible measurements.
SOV Tracker keeps the observed answer, discovery result and supporting signals separate so an optimization decision can be tied back to evidence.
How the test works
Enter the target brand
Brand and market context are used to create five non-branded discovery questions. Adding a website is optional and can enable a separate AI Site Readiness diagnostic; Site Readiness is not part of Discovery Visibility.
We query ChatGPT live
The Free Scan sends the discovery questions to ChatGPT and records the dated provider outcome. Technical failures remain unavailable rather than becoming a measured zero.
See Discovery Visibility + evidence
The result shows found/answered Discovery Visibility and keeps prominence, sentiment and citation evidence separate, with a shareable dated scorecard.
If discovery is weak, inspect the evidence first
- Structure content answer-first: put the direct answer early, then support it with evidence and detail.
- Publish citable facts — clear specifications, comparisons, policies and first-party facts that can be verified.
- Make the business entity unambiguous with consistent facts and appropriate structured data.
- Keep important public facts current and dated when freshness matters.
- Build consistent third-party presence where it is relevant to the category instead of relying on one surface.
These actions are hypotheses to test against later dated measurements, not guaranteed ranking levers. For the broader playbook, read our GEO guide.
Frequently asked questions
Why might my brand not show up in ChatGPT?
A dated answer can omit a brand for many reasons, including the question wording, model/source state, weak entity signals, limited citable information, or simply normal answer variation. The scan shows what happened in this sample; it does not prove a single root cause.
Is this test really free?
Yes. The Free Scan uses five automatically generated non-branded ChatGPT questions. It is a limited acquisition check, not continuous monitoring, and can run once every 30 days for the same business. No signup, email verification or credit card is required to open the result.
Which AI engines does the scan cover?
This no-signup Free Scan covers ChatGPT only. Paid plans include all 5 supported engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, without per-engine add-ons.
How fresh are the results?
The acquisition scan runs live provider requests when you start it and stores the observation with a date. It is still a bounded sample: another account, question, model version, location or date can return a different answer.
How can I improve my chance of being discovered?
There is no direct submission switch for ChatGPT recommendations. Useful GEO work includes clear entity facts, answer-first content, citable sources, structured data and consistent information across the web. These are optimization actions, not guarantees of a future answer.
What does Discovery Visibility mean?
Discovery Visibility is the share of eligible answered non-branded questions where your brand appears without being inserted into the question. Prominence, sentiment and citation evidence are shown separately. Share of Voice is a different competitor-relative metric and is only measured with a valid comparison universe and compatible scope.
Start with a discovery baseline
Free is a limited ChatGPT acquisition scan. Paid plans add tracked questions, a daily ChatGPT + Google AI Overviews Priority Pulse, and weekly full measurement across all 5 supported AI engines.
