How do you get your business recommended by ChatGPT and other AI assistants?
The short answer
Make your business easy to understand and verify: publish direct answers to buyer questions, keep business details consistent, and earn genuine references on relevant outside sites. These steps improve the evidence available to AI assistants; they do not guarantee a recommendation.
Key points
- Answer real buyer questions in plain words on your own site.
- Keep your name, address, services, and details the same everywhere.
- Earn reviews and mentions on trusted outside sites.
- Use structured data so machines can read your pages.
- Track whether assistants mention and cite you over time.
Official references
What AI assistants look for
- Clear statements about what you do and who you serve.
- Pages that match the exact question asked.
- Agreement between your site and outside sources.
- Recent, specific information.
What does not work
- Repeating keywords without answering the question.
- Claims with no proof.
- Pages hidden from visitors but shown to bots.
Mentioned, recommended, and cited
Being named is not the same as being recommended or linked as a source. Track all three separately so you know which one needs work.

- Can any agency guarantee AI recommendations?
- No. AI companies control their own answers. An agency can improve the signals assistants use, and measure the results.
- How long does it take to show up in AI answers?
- It varies by assistant, topic, and competition. Some changes show up within weeks, and outside mentions take longer to build.
