How to Get Your Local Business Recommended by ChatGPT
Practical, non-technical steps that make ChatGPT more likely to name your business for 'best [service] in [city]' questions. ·
Start with Bing Places
ChatGPT's search feature relies heavily on Bing's index and business data. Many local businesses have never claimed Bing Places. Claim it, match your Google categories and hours, and add photos.
Write the page ChatGPT wants to quote
For each core service, publish a page that answers: what you do, where, for whom, typical price range, how fast, and why you. Use plain sentences — assistants paraphrase them directly.
Get reviews that say something
"Great service!" doesn't help. "Replaced our water heater same day in Round Rock" does. Ask customers to mention the job and the area.
Earn third-party mentions
Local news, chamber directories, sponsorship pages and trade association listings are the citations assistants trust. Two or three strong ones beat fifty spammy directories.
