How do I get my brand cited by ChatGPT?
The short answer
Three things drive ChatGPT citations. First, content structure: 40 to 80 word answer blocks at the top of every section, with FAQ schema (350% citation lift per Otterly's 1M-citation study). Second, freshness: ChatGPT's citation half-life is 3.4 weeks, so a 30-day refresh cycle on top pages is the operator default. Third, brand authority: ChatGPT favors brands with consistent positioning across third-party surfaces (G2, Reddit, industry publications).

Measurement
What is share of model in AI search?
Share of model is the percentage of AI responses that mention your brand for a defined prompt set, measured per platform. It's the headline AI visibility metric. A brand with 30% share of model on ChatGPT for a 25-prompt buyer query set means ChatGPT mentions that brand in roughly 8 out of 25 responses. Share of model is reported separately per platform because ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini move independently.
