The Question Your Rank Tracker Cannot Answer — A field note on why agencies need a measurement loop, not a screenshot.
"Why does ChatGPT recommend them and not us?" is the question no ranking report answers. Manual prompting is not a methodology — it is a vibe with a timestamp. What replaces it: share of citation per intent, split into authority and visibility, measured on a loop.

Google Finally Told Marketers How to Optimize for AI Search — Here's the part they left out.

Your Brand Has a Bing Strategy. Where's Your ChatGPT Strategy?
ChatGPT pulls 5.4B monthly visits — three times Bing's 1.9B. Yet most brands have a Bing strategy and no ChatGPT strategy. The audience moved. The measurement didn't. Your brand is either in the AI answer or it isn't — and there's no page two.
