What is a ChatGPT recommendation check?
A ChatGPT recommendation check asks ChatGPT the questions your buyers actually type, such as "which meeting-notes app is best for a startup" or "best dentist near me", and records whether your business is named in the answer. It answers the question every owner now asks: when someone asks ChatGPT for what I sell, does it send them to me or to a competitor?
One question is not enough to know. ChatGPT tailors its answer to the wording, the city and the buyer's follow-up, so a single test in your own chat window shows only one of many possible answers. A useful check asks many realistic questions, the way a buyer keeps asking, and counts the answers rather than trusting one.
Proofsource reads the link you paste, works out what kind of business you are and who your buyers are, writes 25 buyer questions for you, and asks ChatGPT each one while you watch. Every answer gets a verdict line: you were named, a competitor was named instead, or an answer stated something that differs from your facts. The result is saved as a report you can share.

Questions about ChatGPT recommendation check
Does ChatGPT recommend my business?
The check answers exactly that. It asks ChatGPT 25 questions your buyers would ask and marks every answer as a win, a loss to a named competitor, or a wrong fact about you, so you see the real pattern rather than one lucky or unlucky reply.
What kind of link can I paste?
Your website, your Google Maps listing, an App Store or Google Play page, or your online store. The check reads the link, shows you the business it found, and asks you to confirm it before anything runs.
Do I need an account?
No. You paste a link and give the email address the report should go to. The report opens from a private link, with no sign-in.
Can I see a result before I pay?
Yes. A live sample runs first: the opening buyer question and the next questions a buyer would ask, with ChatGPT's real answer and a real verdict. The rest of the report stays locked until you pay once.
How are the buyer questions chosen?
Proofsource reads your link, works out your kind of business and who your buyers are, then writes 25 questions in their words, from broad "best" questions to direct comparisons with competitors.
Why not just ask ChatGPT myself?
You can, but one answer in your own chat shows only one possibility, because ChatGPT tailors its answer to wording and context. The check asks many questions the same careful way and counts the results, so the pattern is reliable.
Does the check cover Perplexity, Claude or Google AI Overviews?
This check is about ChatGPT. To measure up to 10 AI engines together, every day, use a Proofsource plan: it tracks your buyer questions on every engine your plan covers, including Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot and Grok.
How is this different from the Semrush or SE Ranking free checkers?
Those are strong domain-level checks inside large SEO suites. The Proofsource check takes any link, including Maps and app store listings, asks ChatGPT real buyer questions while you watch, and puts a plain verdict under every answer.
What if something goes wrong during the check?
The check has its own screen for every stage, including a clear failed screen that says what happened. A paid check is always delivered.
