Who does ChatGPT name
instead of you?

You usually know who your competitors are. What you do not know is who AI names when a buyer asks the question you want to be the answer to. That is a different list, and it is here.

Short answer

With every measurement the platform pulls the named companies out of the answers. That produces your rank in the field: on how many of your buying questions you are named, against every other company AI quotes. You see who joins, who slips and who appears in the same answer as you.

The counts come from the stored answers, so they can be recalculated. Only the sentiment and the one line describing what AI names a competitor for are summarised by a model.

The field

One list of everyone AI names in your market.

Not the list you would have written. There are parties on it you have never heard of, and names missing that you have pitched against for years. That gap is the information: AI decides on sources, not on reputation.

  • Your rank, per dayOn what share of your questions you are named, and where you sit among the rest.
  • Who joinsA new domain that suddenly turns up in the answers is reported as a new competitor before you meet it in a deal.
  • Named togetherWhich answers put you side by side. Those are the questions where the buyer compares you directly.

The same question, six different answers.

Claude often names other companies than Gemini, and Perplexity leans harder on sources you can influence. So per assistant you see not only whether you are in there, but where the shortest way in sits.

  • Per model separatelyWhich assistant started naming you first, and which one has not. That difference tells you which kind of source works.
  • Literal quotesFor every competitor the platform stores what was said about him, with the assistant and the date attached.
  • SentimentPositive, neutral or negative, with the sentence it came from. A competitor who is named often but lukewarm is an opening.

The Human EdgeLeadership training for municipalities and leisure businesses

The Human Edge grew 1600% in six weeks.
And now ranks number 1 in its niche.

Many small companies think they cannot compete with the big players in GEO. The Human Edge shows they can.

  1. WhoMariska Pronk founded The Human Edge. For years she has trained professionals and managers in personal leadership and communication, from employee to director. Her approach works especially well in municipalities. Our founder Joost took her training himself.
  2. The problemYet AI did not name her. When a municipality asked ChatGPT or Gemini for leadership training, the big training institutes came up. The Human Edge was not among them.
  3. What we didWe worked on her website, wrote blogs about the questions municipalities and managers ask, and worked on her reviews.
  4. The resultSix weeks later AI names her on 16 of 30 buying questions, against 1 at the start. Ask Gemini who the best trainer is for personal development in the public sector, and she comes first. Above big, very well-known agencies. You just have to do it.

Questions about competitor analysis

Do I have to enter my competitors?

No. The list comes from the answers. You can add names you want to watch, but the field fills itself with whoever AI actually names.

How do I know the numbers are right?

Every count traces back to the stored answers, and you can open that answer. Only the sentiment and the summarising line per competitor come from a model.

Do you copy my competitor's numbers?

No. What their site says about their client count or their prices is their claim. We measure what AI assistants say and which sources sit underneath.

What do I do with this list?

Two things. The sources your competitor is on and you are not are your outreach list. And the questions he wins and you lose are the topics you have something to publish about. That second step lives in the Research tab.

Do I also see who disappears?

Yes. A competitor slipping out of the answers gets a falling rank, and a source domain that is no longer cited is marked as lost.
