How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
When someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, it names a few businesses. Here is what those recommendations are based on, and the honest work that earns them.
Insights
Clear thinking on AI visibility.
Practical, jargon free perspectives on AI visibility: how the engines choose what to cite, how to measure it, and the work that earns a place in the answer.
Common questions
Straight answers.
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. The engines decide what to reference using signals nobody controls, and their behavior changes over time. What we can do is improve the signals that make your business easier for them to understand, trust and reference, measure the result every month and report honestly on what changed.
SEO optimizes a page to rank in a list of links. We work on whether your business appears in the answer itself, and on the sources that answer is built from: your profiles, your reviews, the pages the engines already cite, and your own site. Much of the groundwork overlaps with SEO done properly. The difference is where it is measured: in the answers, with the same questions every month.
Visibility is built, not switched on. Some fixes, like opening your site to the engines or correcting a wrong address on a profile, take effect quickly. Earned mentions and new pages take longer to be picked up. We will be clear at the outset about what is realistic for your situation, and the monthly measurement shows what is moving.
