AI share of voice
Your slice of the answers: how often ChatGPT names you, in proportion to how often it names your competitors.
AnswerMonk is a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) intelligence platform that measures how brands appear in AI answers from ChatGPT.
AI share of voice is your brand's proportion of the recommendation space in AI answers: across a panel of buyer prompts for your market, how often each brand is named, expressed as a share. Where an appearance rate tells you "we show up in 40% of prompts", share of voice tells you what that is worth — 40% could lead a fragmented market or trail a rival sitting at 85%. The term itself is defined in the glossary.

How is AI share of voice measured?
It is measured from recorded answers, per search mode. AnswerMonk runs your market's prompt panel on ChatGPT across three search modes, extracts every brand named in every answer, and computes each brand's appearance rate. Share of voice is your rate in proportion to the full competitor set ChatGPT actually names — which is discovered from the answers, not supplied by you, so brands you were not watching still show up in the ranking. The panel design and recording method are on the methodology page.
Why measure it per search mode?
Because a blended average hides the gaps you can act on. Search modes disagree about markets: the brand ChatGPT names from memory is often not the one it leads with when forced to search the live web. AnswerMonk reports share of voice per mode — search off, model decides, and search forced — so a weak mode is visible as a specific, fixable gap rather than being averaged away.
How does it change over time?
Monthly monitoring replays the identical prompt panel and reports the delta: your share, each competitor's share, and who moved. Because the panel is held constant, a shift is evidence of changed engine behaviour — a competitor's new comparison page getting cited, a review-platform update, or your own fixes landing, which the re-audit stamps verified or not-moved. Month-over-month share tracking is part of the $19/mo per brand monitoring plan (early access) — see pricing.
Who uses share of voice?
- Marketing leads who need one competitive number for AI search to put next to organic share-of-voice figures.
- Agencies benchmarking clients against named competitors, mode by mode — see for agencies.
- Category challengers checking whether incumbents' AI dominance is uniform or has a mode-shaped opening.
