How can a small business be found in ChatGPT?
Start with a public website that clearly identifies the business, answers real buying questions and can be read by OAI-SearchBot. Eligible owners can separately claim their business through OpenAI’s Business Hub.
- Publish prices or pricing rules, services, availability and a contact route as readable HTML. Test the public links.
- Check your robots.txt and hosting access rules. Allow OAI-SearchBot to reach public answer pages.
- Use the official Business Hub to check eligibility and verification. Save the date and wording of visibility checks so you can compare what actually happened.
