What does “You got named” mean?

A win is one question on one engine, for one market. For example: ChatGPT Search didn't name you for "best furnace repair in Toronto" on an earlier check, and has now named you on 2 checks in a row. We keep both answers, dated, with the sources they cited, so you can see the before and after for yourself.

Why 2 checks in a row

The same question can get a different answer an hour later. If we celebrated every first mention, some of those "wins" would vanish the next week. So a first mention shows as "Named once, confirming next check", and it only becomes a win when the next check names you too. The cost is about a week's wait; the benefit is that a win means something.

The same rule works the other way: a single miss after a mention shows as "Varies", not a loss. A drop only counts after 2 checks in a row without you. See Named in X of Y checks.

Where you see it

• The "You got named" card on your dashboard, with the newest win and the answers before and after, side by side.
• The Wins timeline on your dashboard, with every win so far.
• An email ("ChatGPT Search now recommends you for ...") after the confirming check, if you get emails from us.

Good to know

• A win is counted once per question, engine and market. Losing it and getting it back later isn't a second win.
• If you were always named for a question, there's no win to show: nothing changed.
• The card may show the last fix you marked done before the win. That's a timeline, not proof the fix caused it: AI tools don't say why they changed an answer.
• Weekly checks are part of the paid plans, so wins need a paid plan.
