A step-by-step starting point for getting your business recommended on ChatGPT and other AI assistants, ahead of formal ad products launching.

There's no "create campaign" button yet for most businesses, but there's a concrete set of steps that improve your chances of being mentioned today and set you up for paid placements once they launch.

Step 1: Audit What AI Assistants Already Know About You

Ask ChatGPT and a couple of other assistants directly what they know about your business. If the answer is vague, wrong, or blank, that's your starting gap to close.

Step 2: Fix Crawler Access

Check your robots.txt explicitly allows GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended. Many sites block these by default without realizing it - if AI crawlers can't reach your content, none of the rest matters.

Step 3: Structure Your Content for Direct Answers

Add clear FAQ sections with matching FAQPage schema, lead with a direct answer before elaborating, and keep business facts (services, location, pricing range) consistent across every page.

Step 4: Keep Facts Consistent Everywhere

Your website, Google Business Profile, and any directory listings should state the same name, address, services, and claims. Inconsistency reads as a weaker source to an AI system cross-checking multiple sources.

Step 5: Monitor and Iterate

Re-check periodically how AI assistants describe your business as you make changes - this is an evolving area, not a one-time setup. Our ChatGPT Ads & AI visibility service handles this end-to-end; reach out if you'd like it done for you.
