You can test this by asking ChatGPT the kinds of questions your customers might ask, such as:

• “What are the best [product category] brands?”
• “Which [product] is best for [use case]?”
• “Compare [your brand] with competitors.”
• “What brands do people trust for [category]?”

Repeat the tests across different phrasings, locations, customer profiles, and ChatGPT sessions. Record whether your brand is mentioned, how it is described, and which competitors appear.

For a more reliable assessment:

1. Test many representative prompts.
2. Use fresh chats and multiple models/tools.
3. Track results over time.
4. Check whether claims about your brand are accurate.
5. Ask customers or prospects what they see in AI answers.
6. Improve your website’s authoritative, consistent information, reviews, third-party coverage, and structured data.

There is no official public “recommendation ranking” or guaranteed way to make ChatGPT recommend a brand. Availability of web search, model version, location, and prompt wording can all change the answer.

You can test this, but there’s no official “brand recommendation score” or guaranteed ranking. ChatGPT says Search ranking depends on relevance and reliability, and top placement cannot be guaranteed. (help.openai.com)

### Practical method

1. Use fresh, separate chats—preferably Temporary Chat or logged out—to reduce personalisation and memory effects.
2. Test realistic prompts, such as:

• “What are the best [category] brands in Australia?”
• “Recommend a [product] for [audience/budget/use case].”
• “Compare [your brand] with [competitors].”
• “What alternatives are there to [competitor]?”

1. Repeat each prompt across:

• ChatGPT with Search enabled
• different locations or users
• several dates

1. Record:

• whether your brand is mentioned
• recommendation position
• stated strengths and weaknesses
• cited sources
• factual errors

1. Track results in a spreadsheet and calculate mention rate, inclusion rate, and average position.

### Improve discoverability

• Allow OAI-Searchbot to crawl your website and ensure your host/CDN permits OpenAI’s published crawler traffic. (help.openai.com)
• Make key facts clear and crawlable: products, pricing, locations, policies, use cases, and contact details.
• Build credible third-party coverage, reviews, comparisons, and industry references.
• Keep business listings and product information consistent.
• Correct inaccurate information on your site and reputable external sources.

For shopping queries, ChatGPT says product results are selected independently—not ads—and may consider relevance, price, reviews, availability, and context. (help.openai.com)

Important: Don’t test only “Does ChatGPT recommend my brand?” Ask neutral, category-level questions; otherwise the wording itself may bias the answer.

You can’t see a single “ChatGPT ranking” for your brand, because responses vary by model, prompt, user context, location, browsing availability, and timing. But you can test whether ChatGPT is likely to mention or recommend your brand for relevant buying/research queries.

Here’s a practical way to do it.

## 1. Build a list of real customer prompts

Create prompts your target customers might ask, such as:

• “What are the best [category] tools for [use case]?”
• “Recommend a [product/service] for a small business.”
• “What are the top alternatives to [competitor]?”
• “Compare [your brand] vs [competitor].”
• “Which [category] is best for [industry]?”
• “I need a [solution] that supports [feature]. What should I consider?”
• “What companies provide [specific service] in [region]?”

Use neutral language. Don’t ask, “Why is my brand the best?” Ask like a real buyer would.

## 2. Test in multiple environments

Run the prompts in:

• ChatGPT, preferably with and without web browsing if available
• Other AI assistants like Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot
• Different ChatGPT models if you have access
• A fresh chat with memory/personalization off, if possible

This helps you see whether your brand appears consistently or only in certain contexts.

## 3. Track the results systematically

Create a spreadsheet with columns like:

| Prompt | Model | Date | Was brand mentioned? | Position | Sentiment | Competitors mentioned | Source/citation if browsing | |---|---|---:|---:|---:|---|---|---|

Track metrics such as:

• Mention rate: How often your brand appears
• Recommendation rate: How often it is positively recommended
• Ranking/position: Whether it appears first, top 3, etc.
• Competitor comparison: Which competitors appear more often
• Accuracy: Whether the assistant describes your product correctly
• Source influence: Which pages or third-party sites are cited

## 4. Test prompt variations

Small changes in wording can change the output. Try variations by:

• Industry: “best CRM for nonprofits” vs. “best CRM for SaaS startups”
• Company size: “for small business” vs. “for enterprise”
• Feature: “with AI automation,” “with HIPAA compliance,” “with Shopify integration”
• Geography: “in the UK,” “in California,” “near me”
• Intent: “best,” “most affordable,” “most reliable,” “alternatives to…”

If your brand only appears for branded queries, but not category queries, that’s a sign you have low AI discovery visibility.

## 5. Ask follow-up questions

After a general recommendation prompt, ask:

• “Why didn’t you include [brand]?”
• “Would [brand] be a good option?”
• “Compare [brand] with the tools you recommended.”
• “What information would you need to recommend [brand]?”
• “What are the strongest brands in this category?”

This can reveal whether the model knows your brand but doesn’t consider it a top recommendation, or whether it lacks reliable information about you.

## 6. Check what sources AI systems may be using

When browsing or search-based AI tools cite sources, note where the recommendations come from. Common influential sources include:

• Review sites: G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Gartner, Clutch
• “Best of” articles
• Comparison pages
• Wikipedia/Wikidata where applicable
• Industry publications
• Reddit, Quora, forums
• Your own website
• Case studies and customer stories
• News coverage and analyst reports

If your brand is absent from the pages AI systems use, it is less likely to be recommended.

## 7. Use an API or monitoring tool for scale

For a more reliable view, run many prompts repeatedly using an API and score the outputs. You can automate checks for:

• Whether your brand is mentioned
• Whether it is recommended
• How it is described
• Which competitors appear
• Whether claims are accurate

There are also emerging “AI visibility,” “LLM SEO,” or “generative search optimization” tools that monitor brand mentions across AI engines.

## 8. Improve your chances of being recommended

If ChatGPT rarely recommends your brand, focus on making your brand easier to understand, verify, and compare.

Useful actions include:

• Create clear category and use-case pages on your site
• Publish comparison pages: “[Your Brand] vs [Competitor]”
• Add FAQ content that answers buyer questions directly
• Get listed on trusted review platforms
• Encourage authentic customer reviews
• Publish case studies with measurable outcomes
• Earn mentions from reputable third-party sites
• Keep pricing, features, integrations, and target audience clear
• Use structured data/schema where relevant
• Make sure your brand is consistently described across the web

## Simple test prompt you can use

Try this:

> “I’m looking for the best [category] for [specific use case]. My company is [size/industry] and I care most about [features]. Which options should I consider and why?”

Then follow up with:

> “Should [your brand] be on this list? Why or why not?”

That will give you a quick sense of whether ChatGPT recognizes your brand as relevant, competitive, and recommendable.

You can’t get a single “global ChatGPT recommends my brand: yes/no” answer, because ChatGPT’s recommendations vary by prompt, model, whether web search is used, user location, memory/personalisation, and available sources. Treat it like an AI visibility audit.

ChatGPT can search the web, cite sources, and sometimes search automatically when a query needs current information; users can also explicitly use Search via the Search tool or /Search. Recommendations can also be personalised by memory and location, so a “clean” test and a “realistic user” test can produce different results. (help.openai.com) (help.openai.com)

## A practical way to test whether ChatGPT recommends your brand

### 1. Build a list of buyer-intent prompts

Don’t just ask “Do you recommend [brand]?” That biases the result. Instead, test prompts a potential customer would ask before they know you exist.

Examples:

• “What are the best [category] brands in Australia?”
• “Recommend a [product/service] for [persona/use case/budget].”
• “What are the top alternatives to [competitor]?”
• “Compare the best [category] options for small businesses.”
• “Which [category] should I choose if I care most about [speed/price/support/quality]?”
• “Best [category] near me” — if you’re local or location-dependent.

Create 30–100 prompts across categories like best, top, alternatives, compare, near me, cheap, premium, for [industry], and problem-led searches.

### 2. Run two separate audits: “model memory” and “web search”

You want to know whether ChatGPT recommends you in two different situations:

| Test type | What it tells you | |---|---| | No explicit web search | Whether your brand is likely to appear from the model’s existing knowledge/general reasoning. | | With ChatGPT Search enabled | Whether your brand appears when ChatGPT uses current web sources and citations. |

For the web-search version, use ChatGPT Search explicitly and inspect the inline citations or the Sources panel. OpenAI says ChatGPT Search responses may include citations, and users can open sources to see referenced links. (help.openai.com)

### 3. Use “clean” sessions

For unbiased testing:

• Use a new chat for each prompt or prompt group.
• Use Temporary Chat where possible, because OpenAI says Temporary Chats don’t show in history, don’t use or create memories, and aren’t used to train models. (help.openai.com)
• Turn off or control Memory if you want non-personalised results; OpenAI notes that memory can personalise responses and that Temporary Chats do not use existing memories or create new ones. (help.openai.com)
• Don’t mention your brand unless the prompt is specifically a comparison or “alternatives to us” test.

### 4. Repeat each prompt several times

ChatGPT responses can vary. For each prompt, run 5–10 trials and record:

• Did your brand appear?
• Was it recommended positively, neutrally, or negatively?
• Was it in the top 3?
• Was it the first recommendation?
• Which competitors appeared?
• Did ChatGPT cite your website?
• Did it cite third-party sources?
• What claims did it make about your brand?
• Were the claims accurate?

A simple spreadsheet works well.

### 5. Score your “ChatGPT recommendation visibility”

Use metrics like:

| Metric | Formula | |---|---| | Mention rate | Prompts where your brand appears ÷ total prompts | | Recommendation rate | Prompts where your brand is actively recommended ÷ total prompts | | Top-3 rate | Prompts where your brand appears in top 3 ÷ total prompts | | First-position rate | Prompts where your brand is first ÷ total prompts | | Citation rate | Search responses citing your site or key third-party pages ÷ total search responses | | Accuracy score | % of responses with no factual errors | | Competitor overlap | Which brands appear instead of or alongside yours |

This turns “Does ChatGPT recommend us?” into something measurable.

## Important: check whether ChatGPT can find and cite your site

If ChatGPT Search is part of your audit, make sure your website is technically accessible. OpenAI says there is no way to guarantee top placement in ChatGPT Search, but to be included, it is important to allow OAI-Searchbot to crawl your site and to allow traffic from OpenAI’s published IP addresses. (help.openai.com)

You should check:

• Your robots.txt is not blocking OpenAI’s search crawler.
• Your CDN/firewall is not blocking OpenAI traffic.
• Important product/category pages are indexable.
• Your pages clearly explain who you serve, what you offer, pricing/availability where relevant, comparisons, reviews, case studies, and differentiators.
• Your brand is consistently described across your website and reputable third-party sources.

## Prompt template for your audit

Use something like this:

> I’m evaluating [category] options in [country/city]. Recommend the best options for [persona/use case]. Don’t assume I already know any brands. Explain your criteria, list pros and cons, and cite sources if you use the web.

For competitors:

> I’m considering [competitor A], [competitor B], and other alternatives for [use case]. Which options should I shortlist and why?

For local intent:

> What are the best [category/service] providers near [city/suburb] for [specific need]?

For source diagnosis:

> Search the web and recommend the best [category] brands. After your recommendation, list which sources influenced your answer.

## What to do if ChatGPT does not recommend your brand

Focus on the sources ChatGPT is likely to rely on:

1. Improve your own site clarity

Make category pages, comparison pages, use-case pages, pricing pages, FAQs, and customer proof easy to understand.

1. Earn third-party validation

Reviews, reputable directories, media mentions, partner pages, awards, marketplace listings, and comparison articles can help ChatGPT understand where your brand fits.

1. Create answer-shaped content

Publish pages that directly answer buyer questions: “Best [category] for [use case],” “[Brand] vs [competitor],” “How to choose [category],” “Pricing for [category],” etc.

1. Fix factual gaps

If ChatGPT misstates your pricing, locations, products, or positioning, update your site and key public profiles.

1. Repeat the audit regularly

Test monthly, and after major website/content/PR changes.

## Bottom line

You find out if ChatGPT recommends your brand by running a structured AI recommendation visibility audit: test real customer prompts, separate normal ChatGPT from ChatGPT Search, use clean sessions, repeat prompts, capture citations, and score mention/recommendation rates. There’s no guaranteed placement, but making your brand crawlable, well-described, and validated by credible sources gives ChatGPT better material to recommend you.

You can’t get a single “ranking report” from ChatGPT, because responses vary by prompt, model, location, context, and whether web search is used. But you can test and monitor whether your brand is being recommended in AI answers.

## 1. Build a list of recommendation prompts

Create prompts your potential customers might ask, such as:

• “What are the best [category] tools for [use case]?”
• “Recommend a [product/service] for [audience].”
• “What are alternatives to [competitor]?”
• “Which companies offer [specific feature]?”
• “Best [category] providers in [city/country].”
• “Compare [your brand] vs [competitor].”

Include high-intent prompts, not just broad ones.

## 2. Test across multiple ChatGPT modes

Check your brand in:

• ChatGPT without web browsing, if available
• ChatGPT with web/search enabled
• Different models, such as GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, etc., depending on availability
• Mobile and desktop
• New chats with no prior context

ChatGPT may answer differently depending on whether it uses live web results or its trained knowledge.

## 3. Use neutral, unbiased prompts

Avoid prompting it with your brand name if you want to know whether it recommends you organically.

Instead of:

> “Why is AcmeCRM the best CRM?”

Use:

> “What are the best CRMs for small B2B SaaS companies?”

Then see whether your brand appears.

## 4. Track position, sentiment, and context

For each prompt, record:

• Whether your brand is mentioned
• Where it appears in the list
• Which competitors are mentioned
• What reasons are given
• Whether the description is accurate
• Whether ChatGPT cites sources, if browsing/search is enabled
• Whether it recommends you, merely mentions you, or excludes you

A simple spreadsheet works well.

Example columns:

| Prompt | Date | Model | Search enabled? | Brand mentioned? | Position | Competitors | Sentiment | Notes | |---|---:|---|---|---|---:|---|---|---|

## 5. Repeat tests regularly

AI answers can change over time. Run the same prompts weekly or monthly to track trends.

Because outputs are variable, test each prompt multiple times. For example, run each prompt 3–5 times and look for patterns.

## 6. Check other AI assistants too

Your prospects may not only use ChatGPT. Test the same prompts in:

• Google AI Overviews
• Perplexity
• Claude
• Gemini
• Microsoft Copilot

This gives you a broader view of “AI visibility.”

## 7. Look at referral and analytics data

In your web analytics, check whether traffic is coming from AI platforms. Look for referral sources such as:

• chatgpt.com
• chat.openai.com
• perplexity.ai
• copilot.microsoft.com
• gemini.google.com

Also review server logs if you have access.

However, referral data will only show clicks, not whether your brand was mentioned without a click.

## 8. Use brand monitoring and AI visibility tools

Some SEO and brand monitoring platforms now track mentions in AI-generated answers. Depending on your market, tools in this space may help you monitor prompts at scale.

Look for tools that can track:

• AI share of voice
• Prompt-level visibility
• Competitor comparisons
• Citations and sources
• Sentiment
• Changes over time

## 9. Investigate what sources ChatGPT uses

When ChatGPT uses web search, it may cite or rely on sources such as:

• Review sites
• Listicles
• Industry blogs
• Comparison pages
• Forums like Reddit or Quora
• Wikipedia or knowledge panels
• Your website
• Third-party directories
• News articles

If your competitors are recommended and you are not, look at what sources mention them and whether your brand is missing from those places.

## 10. Improve your chances of being recommended

To increase the likelihood that ChatGPT and similar tools recommend your brand:

• Make your website clear about what you do, who you serve, pricing, features, and use cases.
• Create comparison pages: “Your Brand vs Competitor.”
• Publish authoritative content for buying-intent queries.
• Get listed in credible third-party directories and review sites.
• Earn mentions in trusted industry publications.
• Encourage genuine customer reviews.
• Use structured data/schema where relevant.
• Keep company profiles consistent across the web.
• Build pages around specific use cases, industries, and locations.
• Make sure your site is crawlable and not blocking important bots unnecessarily.

## Simple testing workflow

1. List 25–50 prompts your buyers might ask.
2. Run each prompt in a fresh ChatGPT conversation.
3. Record whether your brand appears.
4. Repeat 3–5 times per prompt.
5. Compare against competitors.
6. Re-test monthly.
7. Improve the content and third-party presence around prompts where competitors appear but you do not.

In short: test realistic buyer prompts, record whether and how your brand appears, monitor over time, and strengthen the web signals that AI systems are likely to rely on.

“Best” depends on whether you want C-suite strategy, board governance, or hands-on enterprise implementation, but in Australia I’d shortlist these:

| Provider | Best for | Why consider them | |---|---|---| | Melbourne Business School — Executive Education | Senior executives needing AI/digital strategy | Strong executive education brand, strategy focus, good for leadership teams and custom corporate programs. | | AGSM @ UNSW Business School | C-suite and senior leaders | Strong reputation in executive education, digital transformation, innovation and leadership; good for AI as part of broader business strategy. | | CSIRO’s Data61 | Applied AI strategy, responsible AI, technical credibility | Australia’s leading public-sector AI/data science capability; especially useful if you need practical insight into AI adoption, risk, governance and national AI standards. | | Australian Institute of Company Directors — AICD | Boards and directors | Best fit if the goal is AI governance, risk oversight, accountability, cyber/privacy implications and board-level decision-making. | | RMIT Online / RMIT executive programs | Practical business upskilling | Good for managers and executives wanting pragmatic AI literacy, implementation frameworks and workforce capability building. | | University of Sydney / UTS / Monash / QUT executive education | Custom corporate training | Worth considering if you want a tailored program for a leadership cohort, especially around digital transformation, data, innovation or sector-specific AI use cases. |

My practical recommendation:

• For a CEO/executive team AI strategy program: start with Melbourne Business School or AGSM.
• For board-level AI governance: look at AICD, potentially supplemented by Data61.
• For deep applied AI strategy with Australian policy/technical context: CSIRO Data61 is highly credible.
• For scaling AI literacy across managers: RMIT Online or a customised university executive education program may be more cost-effective.

If you want the strongest overall executive-level option in Australia, I’d put Melbourne Business School and AGSM at the top, with Data61 as the best specialist AI partner.

## Short answer

Best overall for executive AI strategy in Australia: _Melbourne Business School — Leading Strategically with AI_. It looks strongest for senior executives and leadership teams because it is explicitly positioned around moving from AI pilots to enterprise-wide adoption, with outputs such as an AI posture diagnostic, use-case prioritisation, governance review, prototype work and an AI strategy communications toolkit. It is also led by Professor Jon Whittle, who has unusually strong AI-strategy credentials for an executive program: former CSIRO AI capability director, founder of Australia’s National AI Centre, former NASA technical lead, and author of books on responsible AI and AI adoption. (mbs.edu)

## My ranked shortlist

| Rank | Provider / program | Best for | Why it stands out | |---:|---|---|---| | 1 | Melbourne Business School — Leading Strategically with AI | C-suite, executive teams, transformation leaders | Best overall mix of senior-exec framing, enterprise strategy, governance, AI investment decisions and practical outputs. The program is specifically designed for senior executives and leadership teams and focuses on enterprise AI strategy, governance, investment decisions and organisational transformation. (mbs.edu) | | 2 | AGSM @ UNSW — Building an AI Strategy | Executives wanting a structured in-person strategy course in Sydney | A strong university-backed option: 3 days, in-person in Sydney CBD, $5,150 inc GST, with a digital badge and 3 CEMD points. It covers AI strategy, pilot design, readiness, operating models, governance and guardrails. (unsw.edu.au) | | 3 | KPMG Australia — AI Learning for leaders | Organisations wanting a customised in-house executive/board program | Best if you want tailored enterprise training rather than an open-enrolment course. KPMG emphasises AI ROI, board-ready leadership capability, scaling playbooks, governance, risk and responsible adoption; it also notes KPMG Australia was the first firm globally to receive ISO 42001 certification for AI Management Systems by BSI. (kpmg.com) | | 4 | AICD + University of Sydney + Deloitte — AI Fluency for Directors Sprint | Boards, directors and senior executives focused on oversight | Best board-specific option. It is designed for senior executives and company directors, delivered online over two weeks, offers 10 CPD points, and covers AI strategy, implementation, governance and scaling from a boardroom perspective. (aicd.com.au) | | 5 | University of Sydney Executive Plus — AI Fluency Sprint | Busy executives wanting a shorter, affordable online primer | Good value and accessible: the sprint is online, priced at $1,395 AUD in the source I found, and covers AI opportunities, capabilities, organisational AI strategy, governance, scaling, culture and work design. (sbi-exec-dev.cluster1.testlab.cloud) | | 6 | Flinders University — MBA specialising in AI strategy and leadership | Executives wanting a formal degree pathway | Best long-form academic pathway rather than a short executive course. Flinders says it has launched Australia’s first MBA dedicated to AI strategy and leadership; it is a two-year MBA combining core MBA studies with AI specialisation across leadership, innovation and business transformation. (news.flinders.edu.au) | | 7 | Futures Institute — AI Strategy Professional Development Course | Brisbane-based senior leaders wanting a one-day intensive | A credible short intensive, especially given the CSIRO/Data61 presence in the speaker lineup, but 2026 dates were listed as “out soon” when crawled, so it is less immediately actionable than the top options. (futuresinstitute.com.au) |

## My recommendation by use case

• If you’re choosing for a CEO/C-suite or executive team: choose Melbourne Business School — Leading Strategically with AI.
• If you want a practical, credentialed, in-person Sydney program: choose AGSM @ UNSW — Building an AI Strategy.
• If you need a whole-organisation capability uplift or bespoke board/executive program: choose KPMG Australia — AI Learning for leaders.
• If you are a board director or reporting to a board: choose AICD + University of Sydney + Deloitte — AI Fluency for Directors Sprint.
• If you want a fast, lower-cost online executive primer: choose University of Sydney Executive Plus — AI Fluency Sprint.
• If you want a degree, not a short course: choose Flinders’ MBA in AI strategy and leadership.

## One caution

I would treat short 2–3 hour workshops, such as Ai Group’s “AI Strategy for Executive Leadership Teams”, as useful awareness sessions rather than “best” executive AI strategy training. Ai Group’s workshop is only 3 hours and covers AI fundamentals, Copilot/ChatGPT comparisons, risks, use cases and steps toward an AI strategy, which is helpful but less deep than the MBS, AGSM or KPMG options. (australianindustrygroup.com.au)

Bottom line: for most Australian executives, Melbourne Business School is the best overall pick; AGSM is the strongest Sydney in-person alternative; and KPMG is the strongest bespoke enterprise option.

There isn’t one universally “best” provider, but for executive AI strategy training in Australia, I’d shortlist these:

| Best fit | Provider | Why consider it | |---|---|---| | Best overall for executives / senior managers | AGSM at UNSW Business School | Strong executive education reputation, good fit for AI strategy, governance, transformation and leadership. UNSW also has deep AI/technology capability. | | Best for C-suite / board-level leadership | Melbourne Business School | Strong brand in executive education, usually well suited to strategic decision-makers focused on business transformation, operating models and change leadership. | | Best for practical applied AI / digital transformation | RMIT Online / RMIT executive programs | Often more hands-on and commercially practical, good for leaders who want to understand use cases, implementation and workforce impact. | | Best for AI governance, responsible AI and technical credibility | CSIRO’s Data61 | Excellent for organisations needing deeper expertise around responsible AI, risk, data, regulation and emerging technology. More suited to bespoke briefings or enterprise programs than a generic leadership course. | | Best value / accessible management training | Australian Institute of Management, UTS Open, or similar short courses | Useful for managers who need AI literacy and strategy basics without a premium business-school format. |

If I had to pick one for a senior executive in Australia, I’d usually start with AGSM at UNSW or Melbourne Business School.

• Choose AGSM/UNSW if you want a strong blend of AI strategy, enterprise transformation, governance and business leadership.
• Choose Melbourne Business School if you want a more classic C-suite strategy and organisational change experience.
• Choose CSIRO/Data61 if your organisation needs responsible AI, policy, risk and technical depth rather than a general executive course.

My recommendation: if this is for a leadership team, ask AGSM, MBS and Data61 for custom executive programs rather than just enrolling in an open short course. The best AI strategy training is usually tailored to your industry, data maturity, risk appetite and priority use cases.

In Australia, specialized API and AI model deployment workshops are offered by providers such as:

• NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) — GPU, CUDA, and AI deployment training
