Question-level evidence
Keep each result tied to the buyer question that produced it.

Does ChatGPT recommend your business?
Measure relevant buyer questions, inspect the answer that was returned, and understand the difference between a mention, a citation, and a recommendation.
Works with any public website No WordPress required
One engine, properly interpreted

BoostGeo is designed to preserve the measured question and response context so a missing or present brand is not reduced to an unexplained badge.
Try a manual check
Is your business visible in ChatGPT? Start here.
You can make a first observation in your own ChatGPT session. Use it to choose the questions worth tracking, then build a repeatable baseline instead of relying on a single answer.
Ask about the customer’s need, without your name.
In a fresh conversation, ask a realistic question such as “Which plumbing companies serve Naples and handle emergency repairs?” Adapt the service and location to your business. Do not paste your website into this discovery question.
Record the answer and its sources.
Note whether your business was named, what was said about it, which competitors appeared, and whether any linked source was your official website. Record whether web search was used or could not be established.
Test your facts separately.
In a separate conversation, name your business and ask about one specific service or policy. Check the supporting source. A supported answer here does not show that a buyer would discover you without your name.
Repeat under comparable conditions.
Keep the wording, interface, language, location context, and date with each observation. An OpenAI API result and a ChatGPT consumer-app result are different surfaces and should be labeled separately.
Turn a spot check into a useful record.
Use the free text template to record mentions, citations, and supported facts separately. For scheduled observations on supported surfaces, explore AI Visibility and its plan allowances.
For a published example of the distinction, read the AI Search Visibility Study’s methods and findings.
How it works
A clear path from uncertainty to evidence
- 1
Define the buyer’s question
Use the language a real customer would use when discovering or comparing providers.
- 2
Measure the supported ChatGPT surface
Record the engine context and answer available to the configured BoostGeo run.
- 3
Review the brand’s role
Determine whether the business was absent, merely mentioned, positively framed, shortlisted, or recommended.
- 4
Compare other engines
A ChatGPT result is useful, but a broader AI Visibility program reduces the risk of treating one engine as the entire market.
What you can inspect
Evidence you can open and understand
Brand and competitor detection
Inspect which relevant businesses appeared in the answer.
Citation context
Separate a brand mention from a website citation when sources are present.
Repeated observations
Build a history instead of relying on a one-time screenshot.
Evidence boundary
What a ChatGPT visibility check cannot guarantee
- It cannot predict every answer another person will receive.
- It cannot guarantee that a mention will produce website traffic or revenue.
- It should not mix supplied-page comprehension with independent public discovery.
- It is strongest when interpreted alongside other engines, Website Readiness, and customer-journey evidence.
Practical guide
Ask questions that reflect buying intent
A useful visibility check measures customer decisions rather than prompts designed only to mention the brand.
Begin unbranded
Start with the customer’s need, category, constraints, and location rather than placing the business name in every question.
Test comparison and trust
Ask how a buyer would narrow a shortlist, verify a claim, or compare important differences.
Read the answer, not only the score
The explanation, framing, competitors, and sources often reveal more than the aggregate mention rate.
Rerun after evidence changes
Allow time for public sources and engine retrieval to change; do not promise an immediate visibility result from an on-site edit.
Common questions
Clear answers before you start
Can BoostGeo guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No. BoostGeo measures configured observations and helps identify evidence gaps. It cannot control or guarantee an external AI system’s future answers.
Is a ChatGPT mention the same as a citation?
No. A mention names the brand. A citation identifies a source or URL used in the answer. BoostGeo treats these as separate evidence.
Why can ChatGPT results change?
Results can vary because models, retrieval sources, interfaces, personalization, location, and available web evidence change over time.
Should I measure other AI engines too?
Yes. Customers use different systems, and no single engine represents the entire AI-assisted discovery market.
