What to do with it

Treat it as a brand search: Google answers “chat gpt” with the brand's own pages, so a third-party page competes for what is left; Google's related searches show the angles people take: “OpenAI chat GPT”, “Free chat GPT”, “Chat GPT login free”.
Study chatgpt.com: it takes 93% of the listed sites' visits from “chat gpt”; its report shows which of its traffic comes from search.
Watch chatgpt.com: it gained most visits from it last month (153.1M → 162.4M).
Google answers part of it in an AI Overview: the pages it cites get a link above the results.

A business score needs your own figures (conversion, deal value) and is not made here. Scores are fixed formulas over the figures shown; they are not Google's.

Listed A–Z. A top search keyword is one of the searches that bring a site the most visitors, by estimate. It is not a position in Google, and the order here is not a ranking. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on that site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money (2026-09-29: it had been shown in dollars). Ad value is what advertisers pay for the keyword — its searches × cost per click — not how hard it is to rank for. This page is kept out of search results until 15 sites share the keyword.
