Your rank in AI answers changes every time you ask

The same thread warns that AI answers shift with each person's context, so a single 'we rank first' check means little. Run the same reader question about ten times and count how often your site or name shows up. Track that share instead of a position. The tool used here is ChatGPT. Pricing listed for ChatGPT: Free; Plus $20/mo.

What prompt should you use with ChatGPT?

Rebuild any prompt with the prompt helper

You are a content analyst who reads post performance data.

Context:
- I write for [WHO YOU WRITE FOR] on [YOUR PLATFORM].
- My voice: [YOUR VOICE]
- My goal: [YOUR GOAL]

Task:
I am going to paste 10 answers ChatGPT gave to the same question: [QUESTION]. Answers: [PASTE YOUR TEXT HERE]. Count how many mention [MY SITE OR NAME], which competitors appear most, and which sources get cited. Put it in a small table. Do not guess about answers I did not paste.

Constraints:
- Avoid [WHAT TO AVOID].
- Use only facts I give you. Don't invent stats, quotes, names or examples. Write [NEEDS DETAIL] wherever something is missing.
- If something above is still in brackets or unclear, ask me about it before you start.

Output format:
Follow the counts and format given in the task. Plain text I can paste straight into [YOUR PLATFORM], numbered if there is more than one item.

Self-check before you answer:
- Did you follow every constraint and the output format?
- Does it sound like my voice and not generic AI writing? Cut filler openers and buzzwords.
- Is every claim backed by something I gave you, or marked [NEEDS DETAIL]?
Fix anything that fails, then give me the result.

Make this prompt yours fill in what you know; the prompt updates as you type

Anything left in [BRACKETS] is for you to fill in, or the AI will ask you. Nothing you type leaves your browser. Want to rebuild a prompt you found elsewhere? Use the prompt helper.
