How brands get recommended in ChatGPT
ChatGPT recommendations come from crawlable, clear content and — for search — indexing by OAI-SearchBot. VisibleMax helps you measure brand mentions and close structural gaps.
Short answer
To improve your odds of ChatGPT recommending your brand: allow OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt, serve direct answers in server-rendered HTML, keep Organization/Product facts consistent, and build pages that answer buyer comparison prompts. Third-party citations still matter.
Technical access
Do not confuse GPTBot (training) with OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT search). Blocking the search crawler can remove you from live answers. Read GPTBot vs OAI-SearchBot.
Content that gets cited
Lead with definitions and verdicts. Publish FAQ, About, pricing, and versus pages. Use VisibleMax free tools for llms.txt and robots.txt checks.
