AI search answers How to get your business recommended by ChatGPT

How do AI assistants decide which businesses to recommend?

They draw on what they can read across the web: your website, your Google Business Profile, directories, reviews and articles that mention you. When those sources agree and your pages answer the question clearly, you are more likely to be named.

• Readable: AI crawlers can reach your pages, and key information is in text, not locked in images or PDFs.
• Specific: each service and service area has its own page that answers real questions.
• Consistent: your business name, address, phone and services match everywhere they appear.
• Trusted: reviews, credentials and mentions on other reputable sites back up what you say.

What can you fix this month?

1. Run a free AI readiness check to see what AI tools can and cannot read on your site.
2. Make sure your robots.txt and security settings are not blocking the AI crawlers you want to reach you.
3. Give each main service its own page that opens with a two-sentence answer to the question customers ask.
4. Add a short FAQ to each service page, using the words customers actually use.
5. Complete your Google Business Profile and ask recent customers for reviews that mention the service and suburb.

Which agency can get my business into ChatGPT?

Look for an agency that treats AI search as an extension of SEO, shows you what AI tools currently say about your business, and reports on mentions and enquiries rather than promising a guaranteed placement. No one can guarantee that ChatGPT will name a business.
