What does the AI answer report include?
Confirm your website, business offering and target market. BotView prepares discovery questions that do not name you, alongside branded questions that do. Inspect and edit the questions before running the assessment.
The report shows completed answers, business mentions, links to cited sources, other businesses named in the original response, and evidence-linked next steps. Discovery and branded results stay separate: answering a question about your company is different from recommending it without being prompted.

A citation can recommend someone else
In an AnkiWordBank research example, a saved OpenAI answer cited the flashcard seller’s comparison article to recommend a competitor whose catalogue marked the product Coming Soon. The source was corrected; no subsequent citation or sales lift has been measured.
The study used separate research scripts, not a BotView dashboard export. It shows why reviewing the claim behind a citation matters.
What does a five-question analysis cost?
Pro is $9/month and includes 20 individual AI answer checks plus 50 crawler scans. A five-question analysis uses five checks; rerunning one question uses one more. You choose when to run them. Free crawler scans include no AI answer checks.
BotView currently uses the OpenAI API with web search. For recurring monitoring across several engines, compare frequency, engine coverage and allowances as well as the subscription price.
Get LLM feedback on your company or website
A branded question can show how an LLM describes your products, services and limitations. Compare that description with your actual website. An incorrect price, confused company identity or missing service gives you something concrete to investigate.
This feedback is generated by the model and may be wrong. BotView preserves the original answer and sources; its reading guidance helps you verify the evidence. It does not claim to know why an AI system selected a business.
Three checks that answer different questions
Crawler access: can a diagnostic request reach the page, and what do its robots.txt rules allow? Content evidence: what appears in initial HTML versus a rendered browser, and which on-page issues are detected? AI answers: does your business appear in the selected questions we actually ran?
An accessible page can be absent from an answer. A mentioned business may have no direct website citation. Keep these observations separate instead of turning them into a single supposed ChatGPT ranking.
Turn findings into a follow-up plan
If your company is absent, inspect the alternatives and cited pages. If it is mentioned inaccurately, check whether the cited source is outdated or refers to another company. If the crawler report finds a block, verify that rule independently before changing it.
After relevant changes, rerun the same question with the same configuration and compare the saved evidence. An answer can vary even without website changes, so one improved result does not prove causation. Private answer evidence is retained for 90 days.
What this assessment does not measure
BotView currently runs OpenAI API answers with web search. It does not reproduce a customer’s personal ChatGPT session, measure real user query volume, or monitor recommendations across Claude, Gemini and every other engine.
Use it as a bounded assessment of selected answers, alongside your own customer research, referral analytics and search performance.

Does ChatGPT recommend your business?
We put the questions your customers ask to OpenAI with web search, then show whether you're named, who is recommended instead, and the sources the answers used.
- Your business: named or missing, and what the answer gets right or wrong.
- Your competitors: who appears instead, and the reasons the answer gives.
- Your next steps: the cited sources, so you can see which pages and listings to improve.

Start with a five-question analysis (5 checks). Rerun a question for 1 check. Answers come from the OpenAI API with web search, not consumer ChatGPT sessions; they are sampled answers, not measured rankings.
Common questions
Can BotView tell me whether ChatGPT recommends my company?
BotView shows whether selected OpenAI API answers mention your company and cite its website. This is useful evidence about those questions, but it is not a recording of consumer ChatGPT or a guarantee about other users’ answers.
How much does an AI visibility report cost?
Pro is $9/month and includes 20 question-runs plus 50 crawler scans. A five-question assessment uses five checks; an individual rerun uses one. Agency includes 100 question-runs for $39/month. Free includes crawler scans but no AI question-runs.
Do I get recommendations with the report?
Yes. The AI report provides evidence-linked investigation steps, such as checking a company description or comparing cited pages. The crawler report separately provides fixes for detected access and content issues. Neither promises that an edit will cause an AI recommendation.
