Bottom line

Most buyers now ask ChatGPT for recommendations before they ever visit a website, and two out of three of those answers name no brand at all. ChatGPT brand insights tell you whether ChatGPT names you, how often, in what light, and how you stack up against competitors, so you can turn a generic answer into one that recommends your brand. Aiso measures all six signals daily and returns a baseline report within 24 hours.

The visibility gap, in one picture

What happens to a buying question in ChatGPT

Drawn from Aiso’s panel of millions of real, anonymized AI conversations. Each bar is the share of buying-intent questions that make it to the next stage.

Buying-intent questions asked100%
Answers that name any specific brand~1 in 3
Answers that name a single brand (63% of the ones that recommend)the winner-take-most slot

The takeaway: there is a generic-answer gap on two-thirds of buying questions, and when ChatGPT does recommend, it usually names just one brand. ChatGPT brand insights tell you whether that one name is yours.

What real conversations actually show

We don’t have to theorize about this. Aiso’s panel of millions of real, anonymized AI conversations shows exactly how assistants handle buying questions.

the most common number of brands a recommendation named - 63% named just one

A few real questions from the panel

  • What's a good lightweight podcast app for an older Android phone?
  • What are ten companies that offer similar products and/or services to Diffbot?
  • Which MBA is the best in 2025?

Across tens of thousands of buying-intent conversations, the assistant named a specific brand only about a third of the time - the other two-thirds got a generic answer with no company named at all. And when it did recommend, 63% of those answers named a single brand. That is the visibility gap ChatGPT brand tracking exists to close: knowing whether ChatGPT names you at all, and whether you’re the one name it picks. See the full methodology.

What a real prompt set looks like

When we distill a category’s real ChatGPT conversations into a working buyer-intent prompt set, the same shape shows up across projects, and it is the insight most brands never see:

~85%

of high-intent prompts are unbranded - the buyer names no company, so the slot is open

Most

are commercial, bottom-of-funnel questions where a recommendation converts

A few hundred

prompts is the right working set for most brands - enough signal without the noise

Most high-intent demand is unbranded and up for grabs. That is exactly the territory ChatGPT brand insights map, prompt by prompt, so you know where you already win and where a competitor is being named instead of you. See how many prompts to track for the full breakdown.

ChatGPT brand insights vs. generic AI monitoring

Most “AI monitoring” tools tell you whether your brand was mentioned. ChatGPT brand insights tell you why, against whom, and what to do about it.

What ChatGPT brand insights cover

ChatGPT brand insights are six measurements of how ChatGPT represents your brand to users: citation frequency, share of voice, sentiment, source attribution, competitor presence, and trend over time. Aiso captures all six on every tracked prompt.
