ChatGPT十月更新:提及减少,竞争加剧
In mid-October, ChatGPT rolled out a major response update that changed how brands appear in its answers. Using Answer Engine Insights, Profound analyzed millions of prompts across ChatGPT and other leading answer engines to understand what changed and how it affected brand visibility across categories.10月中旬,ChatGPT推出了一项重大的响应更新,改变了品牌在其回答中的呈现方式。借助Answer Engine Insights,Profound分析了ChatGPT和其他主流问答引擎上的数百万条提示词,以了解发生了哪些变化以及这些变化如何影响不同类别的品牌可见度。
What Changed 发生了什么变化
The analysis compares the weeks before and after October 18 for brands with visibility scores between 5% and 95%.该分析比较了10月18日前后几周内,可见度得分在5%至95%之间的品牌情况。
On Oct 18th, ChatGPT began consistently tagging brands as structured entities in its responses. As the chart below shows, the share of answers containing brand entity references spiked around October 18, marking the rollout of brand entity recognition through the new Entity[“brand”, …] field.10月18日,ChatGPT开始在其回复中持续将品牌标记为结构化实体。如下表所示,包含品牌实体引用的回答占比在10月18日前后骤增,这标志着通过新的Entity[“brand”, …]字段实现的品牌实体识别功能正式推出。

At the same time, the average number of brand mentions per ChatGPT response dropped from around six–seven before the update to three–four after, reducing the number of brand options surfaced in each answer.与此同时,每ChatGPT回复的平均品牌提及次数从更新前的6-7次下降到更新后的3-4次,减少了每个答案中出现的品牌选项的数量。

ChatGPT’s citations have grown more concentrated, with Wikipedia and Reddit now leading by a large margin. The rest of the cited domains trail far behind, showing that the long tail of sources has stretched even further. In earlier snapshots, citations were more evenly distributed, but that balance eroded over time.ChatGPT的引用来源变得更加集中,维基百科和红迪网如今以较大优势领先。其他被引用的域名则远远落后,这表明来源的长尾分布变得更加分散。在早期的统计数据中,引用分布更为均衡,但这种平衡随着时间的推移被打破了。
How Visibility Shifted 可见度如何变化
After the update, brand visibility scores in ChatGPT declined across the board. Average visibility fell by 31%, and more than 85% of brands saw decreases overall.更新后,ChatGPT中的品牌可见度得分全面下降。平均可见度下降了31%,且<bb1>超过85%的品牌</bb1>总体呈下降趋势。
- 13% of brands saw large drops of more than 10 percentage points.13%的品牌出现了超过10个百分点的大幅下降。
- 58% of brands experienced moderate declines between 2 and 10 points.58%的品牌经历了2至10分的中度下滑。
Across all rankings, the average score difference between positions shrank by roughly 23%. Within the top 10 brands across categories, the visibility gap between #1 and #10 also narrowed by 23%, meaning top brands are now closer together in visibility than before.在所有排名中,不同位置之间的平均得分差距缩小了约23%。在各品类排名前十的品牌中,第一名和第十名之间的知名度差距也缩小了23%,这意味着顶级品牌如今在知名度上的差距比以往更小。

Why It Matters 为何重要
ChatGPT responses now surface fewer brand options overall, tightening visibility across categories. Most brands saw visibility scores decline, and the gap among top positions narrowed, creating a more competitive landscape within ChatGPT’s answers.ChatGPT的回复如今整体呈现的品牌选项更少,这降低了各品类的曝光度。大多数品牌的曝光度评分有所下降,而且头部位置之间的差距缩小,使得ChatGPT回复中的竞争格局更为激烈。
