Models recommend the business they can describe with confidence.
AI assistants don't rank links; they assemble an answer from the sources they trust most. The business that gets named is the one with the clearest, most consistent, most credible footprint. Here's how you build that.
See what AI says now, then fix your entity.
Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini for recommendations in your category and city, and record what they say. Then give your site one crisp, consistent definition of what you do and where, with matching name, services and location on every page.
Make yourself machine-readable, then answer the questions.
Add Organization, Service and FAQ schema so models read you as structured facts, and write concise, factual, question-shaped content for what buyers actually ask. It's the same foundation covered in what GEO is.
Say the same thing everywhere, and tell the crawlers.
Align your Google Business Profile, directories and reviews with your site so the model's confidence climbs, then publish an llms.txt that summarizes your business and points crawlers to your key pages.
Honest outcomes, not inflated promises.
The goal is simple: change what the AI says when a buyer asks. Here's what the work is built to do.
Named, not skipped
The model recommends you by name when someone asks for options in your category and city.
Described accurately
What the AI says about you is right, current and flattering, because the facts it reads are yours.
Ahead of rivals
You close the confidence gap that's currently sending the recommendation to a competitor.
Getting recommended by AI, answered.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
Give the model a clean, consistent, machine-readable picture of your business: a clear entity definition, answer-style content, structured data (Organization, Service, FAQ schema), matching facts across your site, Google Business Profile and directories, reviews, and an llms.txt file. That's GEO, and it's what gets the AI to name you.
Can you pay to appear in ChatGPT answers?
No. There's no ad slot that buys a recommendation inside an AI answer today. You earn the mention by being the clearest, most consistent, most credible source the model can find on your topic.
Why does ChatGPT recommend my competitor and not me?
Usually because the model can describe them more confidently: clearer entity data, more consistent facts, answer-style content it can quote, and more reviews and citations. We audit the gap and close it so the model has an equal or better picture of you.
How do I check if AI recommends my business?
Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews the questions your buyers ask, like "best [service] in [city]", and note whether you're named, how you're described, and who's named instead. We run this as a structured AI visibility check and give you the fixes.
What is llms.txt and do I need it?
llms.txt is a plain-text file at the root of your site that summarizes your business for AI crawlers and points them to your key pages. It's a low-effort signal that helps models index you accurately. It's one piece of GEO, not the whole thing.
