How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT and AI search?
Last updated: · 3J Effect team, Sydney
Quick answer
AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers recommend businesses they can find clear, consistent and trustworthy information about. To be recommended, your website should answer customer questions directly, your business details should match everywhere online, and other sites and reviews should mention you for the services you offer.
01Can AI tools read your website?
Keep important information as normal text on the page, not only inside images, and make sure AI crawlers are not blocked.
02Do your pages answer real questions directly?
Start each page with a short, direct answer, then explain the details. AI tools often quote short, clear answers.
03Is your business described the same way everywhere?
Use the same name, services, location and contact details on your website, Google profile, social media and directories.
04Do other trusted places mention you?
Reviews, local directories, industry associations and media mentions help AI tools feel confident recommending you.
05Are you checking what AI says about you?
Ask ChatGPT and Perplexity the questions your customers ask, and note whether you are mentioned and what is said.
What it usually costs and how long it takes
Price and timing depend on your starting point. The main factors are:
- How visible your business is today
- How many services and areas you want to be found for
- How competitive your market is
- Which channels you need: Google, AI search, social media or ads

Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No one can guarantee that, because AI tools decide for themselves. We make your business much easier for them to find, understand and trust.
Is this different from being found on Google?
It overlaps a lot. Good Google visibility helps, but AI tools also reward short direct answers and consistent information across the web.
Which AI tools does this help with?
The same groundwork helps ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI answers, Microsoft Copilot and similar tools.
Do I need to pay for ads inside ChatGPT?
No. This is about being recommended in normal answers, not paying for placement.
How do I know if it's working?
We regularly ask AI tools your customers' questions and report whether and how your business appears.
