Does ChatGPT name your treatment center?
Enter your center, city and level of care. We write the questions a family would ask, open each one in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Gemini, and keep a tally of who gets named.

What it is for
When a family asks an AI assistant which rehab to call, the answer arrives as a short list of names. In our October 2026 test of 24 ChatGPT answers, a treatment center's own website was cited 7 times out of 56 sources. This check shows whether your center makes that list, asked in the words families use.
It is for owners and marketers who want a real answer rather than a guess, and a baseline to measure against next month.
Build the questions a family would ask
Built in your browser and sent nowhere. When you press an engine button, that one question goes to that engine, the same as typing it there yourself.
How to read the result
Discovery questions matter most
Questions 1 to 4 never mention you. Being named there means a family who has never heard of you can still find you.
Ask more than once
Answers change between runs. In our test, ChatGPT named eight different centers across four runs of the same Denver question. Count how often you appear, not whether you appeared once.
Spell out the state
In the same test, ChatGPT named no one for Dallas and Houston until the state was added. A family typing on a phone may leave it off, so try it both ways.
Wrong facts are worse than none
If an engine names you with the wrong insurance or level of care, fix what it reads: your business listings, directory profiles, insurer and accreditation records, and your own pages.
Findings quoted from our study, How ChatGPT and Perplexity Recommend Treatment Centers, run on 1 October 2026. The engine buttons open each assistant's own public site, and some engines ask you to sign in before they answer. What you see depends on the engine, your account, your location and the day.
Frequently asked questions
You can, and this does exactly that. It writes the questions in the words families use, opens each engine with the question filled in (or copied, for Gemini), and keeps the tally, so the result is a count rather than an impression.
Not to KhanWork. The questions are built in your browser and nothing is saved. When you press an engine button, that one question goes to that engine, the same as if you typed it there.
Gemini does not reliably accept a question in its web address, so the button copies the question first. Paste it into the box when Gemini opens.
Monthly is enough to see a trend. Ask the same questions each time, so a change in the tally reflects a change in the answers rather than in the wording.
Start with what the engines read: your business listings, directory profiles, insurer and accreditation records, and a website that says plainly what you treat and which plans you take. In our study of 24 ChatGPT answers, rehab directories were cited 16 times and insurers' provider directories 14 times, against 7 for treatment centers' own sites.
