A ChatGPT rank tracker for SaaS: see if ChatGPT recommends you.
When a buyer asks ChatGPT for software in your category, it answers with a short list. Shortlist Watch asks ChatGPT those buyer questions and records whether you are named, where you appear, which competitors it names instead and which sites it cites.
What a ChatGPT rank tracker should tell you
There is no fixed “page one” in ChatGPT. Each answer is generated fresh, so rank tracking here means asking the same buyer questions consistently and counting what comes back.
Named or not
Does the answer mention your product at all? We count each product once per answer.
Position
Where you appear in the list when you are named (1 = named first), averaged across answers.
Competitors
Which other products ChatGPT names for the same questions, and how often compared with you.
Cited sources
Every site linked in the answer, such as review sites, listicles and vendor pages. These are often what shapes the list.
What the numbers look like

The same questions, asked the same way
- We write buyer questions for your category: “best tools for…”, alternatives and problem-first questions.
- We ask ChatGPT through OpenAI’s official API with web search on, with no personalization or chat history.
- Products are extracted from every answer automatically and counted once per answer. Nothing is edited by hand.
- Every linked site is recorded, so you can see which sources ChatGPT leans on for your category.
- Paid plans re-ask 25 questions every week and track share of voice against the competitors you choose.

Limits to know
- ChatGPT only. We don’t track Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews or other assistants today.
- Answers vary from run to run, so one answer proves little. Trends across the same questions over weeks are what to watch.
- We use the API with web search, which can differ from what a signed-in ChatGPT user sees.
AI answers vary by person, location and model version. We sample consistently, which is useful for trends and gaps. No tool sees exactly what every user sees, and we don’t promise rankings.
