}Run one prompt against ChatGPT from a requested country. Returns answer markdown, model, prompt time, citations and search sources as observed by Bright Data. web_search permits the model to search; web_search_triggered reports whether it did. An answer without citations remains a valid observation, not evidence of zero brand visibility. Slow requests resume their existing collection snapshot within a four-minute window. Compare with other samples and inspect cited pages before drawing conclusions; this does not measure every user's personalized answer or prove why a brand appears.
