ChatGPT Search

Short answer

ChatGPT Search is OpenAI's web-connected mode within ChatGPT that answers questions using live retrieval and citations, making it one of the most influential answer engines buyers use to research and shortlist products.

ChatGPT is the largest consumer AI assistant, handling billions of queries per day with hundreds of millions of weekly active users, and its search mode grounds answers in live web results with citations. For many buyers it has become a primary research tool, replacing part of what Google once did.

ChatGPT is notable for how it weights sources: it tends to favor third-party citations such as Reddit, review sites, and directories over first-party domain authority. That makes earning mentions in trusted community and review sources especially important for showing up in its answers.

DeepLexa tracks ChatGPT-style visibility, both its parametric knowledge of your brand and its cited answers, as part of its multi-engine coverage.
