Top of Prompt

AI visibility, measured in Australia

When someone asks AI who to use, are you in the answer?

Top of Prompt measures how often AI assistants name your business when an Australian buyer asks for a recommendation in your category, scores it out of 100, and tracks it over time. The method is published, the scoreboard is public, and the first check is free.

What changed, in one paragraph

People used to google, scroll and click. Now a lot of them ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI a question and get one answer back with a shortlist already inside it, which means the shortlist gets made before you ever know the buyer exists. If you're named in that answer you're in the running, and if you're not, there's a decent chance you're never seen at all.

Your website still matters and your SEO still matters. This sits on top of both, and unlike most of what gets sold in this space, it can actually be measured.

Run the two-minute test yourself

You don't need us for this bit. Open ChatGPT in a private window, signed out, and ask it the question your buyers ask:

I'm looking for [what you do] in [your area].
Who should I consider, and why?

Signed out and private matters, because a logged-in account gives you personalised and rather flattering answers. What you want is what a stranger sees. Then look at three things together:

  • 1Are you named at all?
  • 2Who is named, and is it who you'd expect?
  • 3What sources does the answer cite to justify itself?

Whatever comes back, that's your starting point. A Namecheck does the same thing properly: the same question asked many different ways, across the major assistants, scored so you can compare it to next quarter.
