How to use the AI Share of Voice Checker

Read what the guide says

This is the AI Share of Voice Checker.

It shows how often AI answers name and recommend you, against your competitors.

Being named last in a long list is not the same as being recommended first.

Pick three to ten questions a real buyer would ask, and keep the list the same each month.

Ask the assistants your buyers' questions, and paste the whole answers here.

Try an example fills in ten sample answers about made-up dental clinics.

Enter your brand name and up to eight competitors, then press Compare share of voice.

Here, Smile Studio Dental has a 23% share of voice. Pearlbay Dental leads.

The tiles show the mention rate, first choice and strength: our measures, from the text you paste.

Start with these actions, worked out from the answers: the biggest gaps first.

The leaderboard ranks every tracked brand by how often the answers name it.

The prompt by brand grid shows where only competitors are named.

Here, the answers on implant costs and child-friendly dentists do not name you.

For implant costs, it says to publish your prices or price ranges on a page of their own,

and to use the same figures wherever you're listed, so answers have a figure to quote.

To share it, download the CSV files or copy the summary for a report.

Ask the same questions every month, and compare.

You can also email yourself a PDF of the result.

We do not ask any AI tool ourselves. You ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google the questions your buyers ask, paste the answers here, and we count how often each brand is named, put first and recommended. It is free, and it measures the exact answers you saw.

Put a line of three dashes (---) between answers, and start each answer with a label line: the prompt, a | and the assistant. Up to 40 answers.

Answer format and labels 
best dental clinic in Kothrud | ChatGPT
Here are some well-reviewed clinics… (whole answer)
---
best dental clinic in Kothrud | Gemini
Smile Studio Dental on Paud Road is… (whole answer)
---
dental implants cost in Pune | ChatGPT
…
  • Also read: Prompt: best dentist in Pune (Gemini), separate Prompt: and Assistant: lines, or just the assistant's name, such as Perplexity.
  • An answer without a prompt label counts under the prompt above it.
  • Answers with the same prompt are grouped, so you can compare assistants side by side.
How to collect answers that mean something
  1. Pick 3 to 10 questions a buyer would ask, with your area: "best dental clinic in Kothrud", "dental implants cost in Pune".
  2. Ask each one in the assistants your buyers use, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Mode, and copy the whole answer.
  3. Answers change from one run to the next, so ask each question twice and keep the same list every month.
  4. Answers can be personalised. In ChatGPT, a temporary chat without personalisation does not use your memories or custom instructions. ChatGPT search and Google use your approximate location, so name the area in the question.

Other spellings after a slash: Smile Studio Dental / Smile Studio

About the AI Share of Voice Checker

Ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google the questions your buyers ask, paste the answers, and see how often each brand is named, put first and recommended. You get your share of voice against competitors, a prompt-by-brand grid that shows where only competitors are named, results by assistant, and what to fix first. We do not query any AI tool ourselves, so the tool is free and measures the exact answers you saw.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Ask each of your buyers' questions in the assistants they use and copy the whole answers. Put a line of three dashes (---) between answers, and start each with a label such as "best dentist in Kothrud | ChatGPT".

  2. Step 2

    Enter your brand name, and optionally your website and up to 8 competitors. Leave competitors empty and we track the brands the answers list most often.

  3. Step 3

    Read your share of voice, the prompts where only competitors are named and the actions to take first. Download the CSVs or copy the summary for a report, and repeat every month.

What the four measures mean

Share of voice is your mentions as a share of all mentions of the brands you track, counting each brand once per answer. Mention rate is the share of answers that name you. First choice is the share of answers that put you first, at the top of a list or as the first brand named. Strength averages how the words around your name read, from hedged (0) to strong (3). All four are our measures, worked out from the text you paste.

Building a prompt set worth tracking

Use 3 to 10 questions a real buyer would ask, with your service and area, and include price and comparison questions, not only "best". Ask each one in the assistants your buyers use, and keep the list the same every month. OpenAI's help centre says the same question can get different answers, so ask each prompt twice and aim for 10 or more answers per run.

What this tool cannot do

It does not see what other people are shown. Answers can be personalised: Google says AI Mode can use your Search history, and Google and ChatGPT search both use your approximate location. The tool reads brand names in the text, so it can miss misspellings and nicknames, and it cannot tell why an assistant chose a brand. It does not query any assistant, and it cannot predict future answers.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI share of voice?

AI share of voice is how much of the attention in AI answers goes to your brand compared with your competitors. This tool measures it on answers you paste: it counts how many answers name each tracked brand and shows your share of the total. Read it with the mention rate and first-choice rate, because being named last in a long list is not the same as being recommended first.

How do I check if ChatGPT recommends my business?

Ask ChatGPT the questions your customers ask, such as "best dentist in Kothrud" or "dental implants cost in Pune", and copy the full answers. To keep your own history out of it, use a temporary chat without personalisation, which does not use your memories or custom instructions. ChatGPT search uses your approximate location, so name the area in the question. Then paste the answers here with your brand name.

Why do AI answers change every time I ask?

Language models pick each next word from several likely options, so there is some randomness, and OpenAI's help centre says the same question can get different answers. Web search results, your location and personalisation change answers too. That is why one answer proves little. Ask each prompt more than once and in more than one assistant, track the same prompts every month, and watch the trend rather than a single result.

How can I get AI assistants to recommend my business over competitors?

There is no switch to flip, and nobody can guarantee a recommendation. Google says its AI Overviews and AI Mode need no special optimisation beyond normal SEO best practice. In practice, make it easy to describe you accurately: pages that answer your buyers' questions with prices, areas and proof, consistent details on your Google Business Profile and directories, recent reviews, and mentions on the sites the answers cite.

Why paste the answers instead of checking automatically?

The answer that matters is the one people see in the app, and it depends on their location, account settings and wording. Rather than paying for automated queries that may not match what your buyers see, you ask the assistants yourself and paste the answers. That keeps the tool free, works with any assistant, and measures exactly the answers you saw. We never send your prompts to an AI service.
