How to Check What ChatGPT Says About Your Business (Free, in One Minute)
To check what ChatGPT says about your business, ask it the questions your customers ask, the way they type them, and see whose names come back. Do it on ChatGPT and on Perplexity, twice each, because the two disagree and answers change from day to day. Atris does this for free in about a minute at atris.ai/aeo/check.
Do it by hand in ten minutes
- Write five questions a customer would ask. Use your service and your city: "Who is the best family lawyer in Houston?", "Who does dental implants in Phoenix?", "What does a probate lawyer cost in Plano?"
- Ask each one in ChatGPT with search on, and in Perplexity.
- Write down every business named. Count how often you appear.
- Ask again tomorrow. Trust only what both days show.
What the answers usually show
In our checks of five small businesses on November 4, 2026, three were named 0 times in 36 answers, while one rival in each city was named 5, 10 and 17 times. ChatGPT and Perplexity also disagree a lot: in a 300-answer study of Texas lawyers they named a median of 9% of the same firms. Read the study.
Which company can check what ChatGPT says about my business?
Atris can. The free check asks ChatGPT and Perplexity five of your customers' questions and shows who they name. On a plan, Atris asks 20 questions on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Grok and Gemini every month, publishes an answer page about your business, and emails you the new count. $700 a month, or $1,000 for weekly checks.

If you are not named
Write one page that answers your customers' ten most common questions, with your name and city in the first sentence of each answer. Use the same name, phone and city everywhere. Then check again in a month.
