What our citation data shows
- Across the 105 communities with 50 or more AI citations, 39.2% of 14,564 Reddit thread citations came on questions comparing products, 36.9% on questions about what to buy and 23.8% on questions describing a problem.
- The mix changes by market. In ecommerce and consumer brands, 52.6% of 4,256 citations came on comparison questions; in SaaS and startups, 54.9% of 872 came on what-to-buy questions.
- Perplexity supplied 70.4% of those 14,564 citations, so one engine can tell a very different Reddit story from another.
How to use the prompts
Open a fresh chat in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, and paste one prompt at a time so an earlier answer cannot steer the next one. For each answer, write down three things: whether your brand was named, which competitors were named, and which pages were cited as sources.
Then count. The number that matters is how many answers named you, out of the 12 buyer prompts you ran, per engine. The buyer prompts leave your brand name out on purpose, so a mention means the engine brought you up unprompted. Our guide to measuring AI visibility covers what a good score looks like and why engines disagree. The 3 checks at the bottom name you, so keep them out of that count: read them for wrong prices, old facts and complaints, then fix the page the answer cited.
When a prompt returns Reddit threads and your brand is not in them, those threads are the place to act. The subreddit finder shows which communities AI answers cite for your market.
Worked example: Acme Notes, an AI note-taking app
Acme Notes sells to consultants who run client calls, so we picked AI and software. In that market 1,357 Reddit thread citations split 29.8% comparing, 39.6% buying, 30.7% problem. Twelve buyer prompts split that way gives 3, 5, 4 prompts of each kind in the same order. With 3 fact checks added, that is 15 prompts, or 45 answers across three engines.
How the generator works
It fills fixed question templates with your words. It does not call an AI model, and it does not look up your brand. The templates follow the three kinds of buyer question we track: comparing products, looking for a product to buy, and describing a problem.
The split comes from the CommunityMentions AI-answer tracking data, as of Nov 8, 2026. It counts 14,564 Reddit thread citations from answers by OpenAI GPT models, Perplexity Sonar and Gemini Flash, Jan 9, 2026 to Nov 6, 2026, in the 105 communities with 50 or more citations. Each market needs 400 or more citations to get its own split. Each of the three kinds of question gets at least 2 of the 12 buyer prompts and at most 5, so a lopsided market still tests all three.
These figures are a share of citations, not a rate: they say which questions the Reddit citations came on, not how often any single question cites Reddit. The tracked questions come from our clients' niches, so they lean toward the markets our clients sell in. CommunityMentions sells a done-for-you service for $1,000 a month, so weigh that when you read why Reddit matters here. Full method.

Frequently asked questions
What should I ask ChatGPT about my brand?
Ask what a buyer would ask, not only your name. Use comparison questions (your competitor's alternatives), what-to-buy questions (the best product for a named buyer), problem questions (how to fix what you solve), and then three checks of the facts: what you do and cost, whether buyers can trust you, and the main complaints. The generator writes all 15.
How many prompts do I need to test AI visibility?
What matters is a fixed set you can repeat every month; our guide to measuring AI visibility suggests 10 to 30. This tool gives you 15. Run on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, that is 45 answers to read. Keep the wording the same each month so a change in the answers means something changed, not your question.
Why are the prompts weighted by Reddit citations?
Because the split shows which kinds of buyer question lead AI answers to Reddit threads. Across 105 communities and 14,564 citations, 39.2% came on comparison questions and 23.8% on problem questions. Choose your closest market and the number of prompts of each kind follows that market's split.
Does this tool test my brand in ChatGPT for me?
No. It writes the prompts and makes no AI calls, so it costs nothing to use and needs no login. You paste them into each assistant yourself. What you type appears in the page address, like any form result, so leave out anything private.
Which AI engine should I test first?
Test all three, because they differ a lot. In our data Perplexity supplied 70.4% of the Reddit citations, Gemini 22.2% and OpenAI's GPT models 7.4%. Those shares describe the questions we track for our clients' niches, so treat them as a guide to the difference between engines and not as a measure of your market.
