Does ChatGPT mention my brand?

People type this because a customer already asked a model instead of scrolling a map. The answer is a short list of shops. Your name is on it or it is not. Mentionmill runs that question so you can see the list without guessing from a screenshot someone forwarded.

The check is one prompt, not a crawl of every possible question in your city. “Best plumber in Austin” is a different pass from “emergency plumber near me” or “who installs tankless water heaters.” Pick the wording a real person would use. Add the brand you want named — Your brand, not a slogan.

We send that prompt to ChatGPT and Perplexity. You get Named or Not named for your shop, who else showed up, and the links those answers pointed at. That is the whole product on the free pass. No share of voice. No rank against the city. Results vary by person and place.

If you are Not named, the useful next move is not a 40-page GEO audit. It is three steps for this week on that same prompt: a page that answers the question, a citation the models already used, and matching name-city-service on the surfaces people already trust. Those steps don’t guarantee you’ll get named. They are the work we would do if this were our shop.

If you are Named, the list still moves. A competitor can appear next Tuesday. $29/month keeps this prompt, re-runs it weekly, and emails you when the names change, with a fresh This week. That is the watch. It is not a 15-prompt dashboard.

Mentionmill is not ChatGPT, not OpenAI, and not a way to buy a mention. If you want the broader label people use for this work, read what GEO is. If you want the tool itself, run the check below.

Shops sometimes run this after a customer says “ChatGPT told me to call the other guy.” That sentence is a prompt in disguise. Ask them what they typed. Use that wording, not a cleaned-up version from a marketing brief. Then you are checking the same door they walked through. If the names differ from a pass you ran last month, that is the point of the weekly watch — not a reason to throw out the first result as broken.

Agencies can send this URL to a client who only asked the ChatGPT question. The form is the same as the homepage. The homepage stays quiet. This page is where the search lands. Related guides cover Perplexity, citations, and how to work the miss. None of them add engine logos or a compare chart. Run the check when you are ready.
