Checking yourself
Keep checking yourself if
- You only care about one or two prompts
- You check now and then, out of curiosity
- You don't need history or competitor data
Mentiofy vs checking it yourself
Asking ChatGPT yourself
tells you very little.
Typing a question into ChatGPT is quick and free. But answers change every day, differ per engine and per person, and leave no history. Mentiofy asks the same prompts on three engines, every day, and keeps track for you.
