What Are Brand Topics in ChatGPT and Gemini (and Why They Matter)
Brand topics are the specific themes an AI model associates with *your* brand — for example, price, customer support, integrations, or reliability. When someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini about your brand, these are the subjects the model brings up and the angles it frames you through. Strong, positive brand topics make you more likely to be recommended; weak or negative ones quietly suppress your visibility.
What Is Topic Authority and How It Improves Your AI Visibility
Authority topics are the general themes an AI model surfaces in its answers and treats as central to a subject or sector — the dimensions it considers authoritative — *without* tying them to any single brand. They're the AI's "agenda" for a category: the topics it thinks matter when discussing the space. Topic authority, then, is about understanding that shared topical landscape and making sure your brand appears within the themes the model already considers important. That's how you improve your visibility in ChatGPT and Gemini.

How to Run a Sentiment Analysis in ChatGPT and Gemini
To run a sentiment analysis in ChatGPT and Gemini, ask each model the questions where your brand could come up, then assess the tone of how it describes you — positive, neutral, or negative — ideally on a consistent scale and broken down by topic. The most actionable insight isn't a single overall score; it's sentiment *per topic*, because a brand can be praised for one thing and criticized for another. Here's the method and how to read it.
