How is this estimated?

ChatGPT doesn't publish prompts, so we don't show logged conversations. We measure real demand for this topic from Google search volume, scale it to ChatGPT's user base (on average about 1 ChatGPT user for every 8 Google searchers, a ratio that varies by topic), and run the prompt through ChatGPT 5 times to record which websites it recommends and in what order. Estimated visits split that demand across the recommended sites by a click-through-by-rank curve. Every number is a modeled estimate, not measured analytics. Full methodology →
