Why Your ChatGPT Visibility Matters
ChatGPT has become the default research tool for millions of buyers. Before they visit your website, read your reviews, or talk to your sales team, they're asking ChatGPT for recommendations. With 81% market share in generative AI2, it's where purchase decisions begin.
When someone asks ChatGPT to compare solutions in your category, your brand is either part of that answer or it isn't. And if it isn't, you're losing deals you never knew existed. Knowatoa shows you exactly where you stand and what to do about it.
Sentiment Decides the Sale
When ChatGPT does the research for your prospects, it forms opinions. Where a Google results page lets users click through and form their own conclusions, ChatGPT synthesizes the information and delivers a verdict.
If ChatGPT describes your brand negatively, even subtly, that perception shapes the conversation before you ever get a chance to make your case. Buyers trust what AI tells them, often more than they trust your marketing.
Knowatoa tracks not only whether you are mentioned, but also how you are described. We monitor sentiment across every response so you can catch reputation issues early and understand exactly how AI perceives your brand.
