# Check if ChatGPT mentions your brand

**Use case:** 

Asks a ChatGPT model one customer question through the OpenAI API with web search and reports whether your brand is mentioned, where it ranks among the brands you track, the tone of the passage and whether your site is cited. The example looks for Apify in an answer about web scraping platforms; replace the brand, domain, competitors and prompt with your own. One check costs $0.09.

## Input

```json
{
  "brand": "Apify",
  "brandDomains": [
    "apify.com"
  ],
  "competitors": [
    "Bright Data | brightdata.com",
    "Zyte | zyte.com"
  ],
  "prompts": [
    "What are the best web scraping platforms for developers?"
  ],
  "engines": [
    "openai"
  ],
  "openaiModel": "gpt-6.1-terra",
  "anthropicModel": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
  "geminiModel": "gemini-3.8-flash",
  "maxSearches": 2,
  "maxChecks": 1,
  "includeAnswer": true,
  "compareWithPrevious": true
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "engine": {
    "label": "Engine",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "model": {
    "label": "Model",

### Is the answer the same as the one the ChatGPT app gives?

Not exactly. The task asks the model through the OpenAI API with web search, without the app's memory, personalisation or location. Treat the result as a consistent benchmark over time, not a screenshot of the app.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/localwire/ai-brand-visibility.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
