Frequently asked questions
What does this ChatGPT Pets report measure?
Which brands ChatGPT names when buyers in the United States ask Pets questions, and which websites it cites in those answers. It covers 1 Pets market and 800 buyer questions, each asked once, and sets ChatGPT next to Gemini and Google AI Mode on the same questions.
“Mention rate” — what does it mean?
The share of ChatGPT’s answers to a market’s buyer questions that name the brand. Each question is asked once, and every rate carries a 95% range: when the ranges of two brands overlap, their ranks are not really different.
What does “market concentration” mean?
How much of all brand mentions in a market go to its three most-named brands. When the top three hold most of the mentions, the market is highly concentrated and hard to break into; when mentions are spread over dozens of brands, it is open.
Which Pets markets are included?
One US market measured on ChatGPT: Pet Food & Nutrition. Each market has its own question set, its own brands and its own ranking.
Why are only 20 brands shown per market?
Radar publishes the top 20 brands of each engine in each market. A brand missing from a table here can still be named by ChatGPT — just below its top 20.
What counts as a citation?
A link to a website that ChatGPT shows as a source in its answer. We count every cited URL and group them by domain.
Why can ChatGPT mention a brand without citing its website?
Naming a brand and citing a source are separate. ChatGPT often recommends a brand while linking to a publisher, a retailer or an association that wrote about it. That is why the brand ranking and the sources table can tell different stories.
Will I get the same answers if I ask ChatGPT these questions myself?
Not word for word. Answers vary between runs, accounts and locations, which is why every question is asked once and the results are read as rates with a 95% range. A single answer you get yourself is one sample from the same spread.
