How do I get ChatGPT to recommend my business?

You can't pay for it or control it, but you can make your business easy for AI tools to find and trust: publish pages that answer customer questions directly, add structured business data to your site, keep your name, address and phone consistent everywhere, and earn real reviews. Then check regularly whether you're mentioned.

What helps

A page for each service and question, with a clear, direct answer
Accurate business details on your site, including structured data (schema)
Letting AI search crawlers like OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT search) and PerplexityBot read your site
Consistent listings on Google, Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp and industry sites
Reviews that mention what you do and where

How to check

Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google questions like "best [your service] in Boise" once a month and note whether you're named. Results change, so track it over time.
