Why we track this
- Buyers now ask ChatGPT what to buy. The brands it names first get the shortlist.
- One answer is a sample: the same question gives a different ranking from run to run. A daily series shows which brands hold their place.
- The questions come from our October 2026 benchmark of Chinese brands in ChatGPT recommendations: two questions in each of 12 categories where Chinese brands compete abroad.
How we run it
- Each question is asked exactly as written, in English, in a new ChatGPT chat with web search on.
- We record the ranked picks, brands mentioned without a pick, and the cited sites.
- “China-founded” means founded in mainland China or by a mainland-China team.
- Pages update after every daily run; the date at the top of each page is the latest run.
FAQ
How often is this updated?
Every day. Each question page shows the latest run, the change since the previous day and a history of the last seven runs.
Can I track my own brand’s questions?
Yes. Start with the free AI visibility test, or see monitoring plans for your own question set across six assistants.
Why do the rankings change between runs?
ChatGPT searches the web for each answer and the pages it reads, and how it weighs them, vary between runs. That is why a trend across runs is more reliable than one answer.
