Free ChatGPT visibility tool
ChatGPT Mention Tracker
Track your brand's mentions and citations in ChatGPT. Enter your domain and see whether ChatGPT cites you, merely mentions you, or ignores you — plus which competitors get cited instead. Free, no signup.
What does the ChatGPT mention tracker do?
It probes live AI answers the way your customers do. WebCited generates the real questions buyers ask in your category, asks ChatGPT and other answer engines each one, and records the outcome for every question: cited (your domain appears as a linked source), mentioned (your brand is named without a link), or absent. Because AI answers vary run to run, it samples more than once so the result reflects reality, not a single lucky or unlucky roll.
Why track brand mentions in ChatGPT?
A growing share of buyers now ask ChatGPT instead of Google. If ChatGPT cites your competitor when someone asks “what's the best tool for X,” you lose that buyer before they ever reach a search results page — and you never see it in Google Analytics. Tracking ChatGPT mentions is the only way to know whether AI answers are sending buyers to you or to a competitor.
How it works — in one scan
- Enter your domain. WebCited crawls and profiles your brand, category, and competitors.
- It generates the buyer questions your customers actually ask AI.
- It asks ChatGPT and other engines each question, sampling more than once.
- It scores each answer — cited, mentioned, or absent — and shows competitor share of voice.
- It runs a technical audit explaining why you are or aren't cited, with copy-paste fixes.
Mentions vs. citations — what to track
A citation is a linked source in the answer; a mentionis your name in the text without a link. Both matter, but citations drive referral clicks and signal trust to the engine. WebCited tracks both separately so you can see whether you're gaining real citations or just passing name-drops.
ChatGPT mention tracking — FAQ
- How do I track my brand's mentions in ChatGPT?
- Enter your domain and run a scan. WebCited asks ChatGPT (and other AI answer engines) the real questions your buyers ask, then records whether each answer cites your site, mentions your brand without a link, or ignores you — and which competitors got cited instead.
- Is the ChatGPT mention tracker free?
- Yes. Your first scan is free with no signup — live probing, competitor share of voice, and a technical audit of why you are or aren't cited. After that it's pay-as-you-go credits, so you only pay for the scans you run.
- What's the difference between a mention and a citation?
- A citation means your domain appears as a linked source in the AI answer. A mention means your brand is named in the text without a link. Absent means neither. Citations carry the most weight because they drive referral traffic and signal trust to the engine.
- Why does ChatGPT cite my competitor and not me?
- Usually one of three reasons: AI crawlers can't reach your pages (a robots.txt or WAF block), your content isn't cleanly extractable into a short quotable answer, or the engine doesn't trust your brand as an entity. WebCited's audit tells you which layer is failing.
- How often should I track ChatGPT mentions?
- AI answers are non-deterministic — the same question returns different sources run to run — so re-scan weekly to see a real trend rather than noise. WebCited stores every scan and shows your score over time.
