1) Fix the questions
Choose 15 to 25 buyer questions and keep them stable, so rank compares like with like from week to week.
AI rank tracker
Rank tracking for answers that have no page one.
A search rank tracker reports a position on a results page. An AI answer has no results page. It names a handful of brands in a list or a paragraph. CitePrism tracks where your brand lands among those names, across many sampled answers and seven engines, and reports it next to how often you are named at all. No tool can see real user conversations, so the rank is a statistic over sampled answers.
- Average rank among the tracked brands each answer names
- First-mention rate: how often you are named before any rival
- Visibility rate beside rank, so a rare top spot does not mislead
- Rank per engine, per prompt and overall
- Competitors ranked from the same answers
What rank means inside an answer
Rank is your position among the tracked brands (you and your competitors) that an answer names. Named third among them is rank 3. The same question gets a different answer each time, so CitePrism averages that position over every sampled answer that names you.
One check is noise
Ask ChatGPT the same question twice and the order can change. A single result is one draw, not a rank.
Rank needs reach
Average rank counts only the answers that name you. Rank 1 in 5 answers of 100 loses to rank 3 in 60 of 100 (illustrative figures), so visibility rate sits beside it.
First is its own metric
The first name in an answer is the one a skimming reader sees first. First-mention rate tracks the share of answers that name you before any rival.
How it works
Live in minutes, honest forever.
2) Sample at set hours
Each run asks every engine every question. Pro allows up to four runs a day, each at a separate UTC hour.
3) Read rank with reach
Check average rank and first-mention rate against visibility rate, then open the raw answers behind any change.
FAQ
How much does rank move between runs?
Often more than people expect. The same question can return a different set of brands, in a different order, on each run. A model update can also change the order from one day to the next. So CitePrism greys out any metric with fewer than 10 answers behind it, and one answer never counts as a rank. Read the weekly trend, not the daily number, and open the raw answers behind a move before you act on it.
Why not check my rank in ChatGPT by hand?
Because one answer is one draw. The order of brands shifts between runs, between models and between days. A manual check catches one of those orders and calls it a rank. Rank over many scheduled answers, with fewer than 10 answers greyed out, separates a real move from noise.
How is average rank calculated?
For each sampled answer that names you, CitePrism records your position among the tracked brands that answer names. Average rank is the mean of those positions. Answers that do not name you do not count toward rank. They lower your visibility rate instead, which is why the two metrics appear together.
Is it a ChatGPT rank tracker or an LLM rank tracker?
Both. Rank is tracked on seven engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Microsoft Copilot. Engines can rank the same brands in a different order, so the per-engine view shows where you lead and where you trail.
