When you want to know whether ChatGPT or Perplexity mentions your product to a buyer, what do you actually do? Type the question in yourself and eyeball it? Run something on a schedule? Not look at all yet?
I'm Thorsten, co-founder of Findabl. We launch here on Aug 14. Before that I wanted to share what we found, because it changed what we built.
We wrote 26 buyer questions ahead of time and locked the list, so we couldn't quietly tidy it up later. None of them mention a brand by name. That matters. Ask an engine "is Salesforce any good" and you're measuring politeness. Ask "what's the best CRM" and you're measuring the shortlist. Four engines, three setups, 2,580 runs.
Findabl sends real prompts to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, then captures the responses, brand mentions, competitor citations, and publisher domains behind each recommendation. See whether AI cites your brand, who it cites instead, and how citation frequency changes over time. No modeled scores. Direct, auditable measurement.
