Get recommended by ChatGPT.

When a question needs current or local information, ChatGPT searches the web, reads what it finds and names a few businesses, with links to its sources. Those sources decide who it names.

What your customers ask ChatGPT

Who are the best-reviewed electricians in Austin for a panel upgrade?

It names two or three businesses. We find out why it chose them, and close the gaps that keep you out.

How it chooses

Who ChatGPT names

For questions about local businesses, ChatGPT runs a web search, reads the pages and listings it finds, and names the businesses the evidence supports most clearly. It favors businesses whose services, location and reputation are stated plainly and confirmed by more than one source. If your website is vague, or its search crawler can't read it, ChatGPT relies on what other sites say about you, or leaves you out.

The sources

Where it looks

  • Your website, if OpenAI's search crawler (OAI-SearchBot) can read it
  • Review sites: Google, Yelp, the BBB and trade sites such as Angi
  • Directories and trade association listings
  • Articles, guides and “best of” lists that mention you
  • What it learned in training, for questions it answers without searching

The work

What we do

  • Check that ChatGPT's search crawler is allowed to read your website
  • Pages that state each service, where you do it and who it is for
  • Reviews and listings that agree with your website
  • Evidence it can cite: projects, accreditations and price guidance
  • Monthly checks of what ChatGPT says about you and your competitors

Common questions

Can we pay to appear in ChatGPT's answers?

No. There is no way to buy a place in the answer it writes. It names the businesses it can find, understand and confirm, which is the work we do.

Why does ChatGPT give different answers each time?

It writes a new answer every time, and may search different sources. That is why we report repeated observations over time, not a single screenshot.

Could our website be blocking ChatGPT?

It could. Some hosting and security services now block AI crawlers by default, and many owners don't know. We check your settings during implementation.

The other assistants

The same work helps on every one. We check each of them.
