Can ChatGPT Recommend Your Business?

More and more people are using ChatGPT and other AI tools to find businesses, products and services.

Instead of searching Google and comparing a list of websites, people can now simply ask:

“Who are the best web designers in Cork?”
“Can you recommend a local accountant?”
“Where’s a good restaurant near me?”
“Which company should I use for…?”

So, an increasingly important question for businesses is:

What can you do to improve the chances of ChatGPT recommending you?

Our latest Hashtag Learning Centre guide explores:

- How ChatGPT discovers and understands businesses
- Why your website is still hugely important
- How useful, authoritative content can improve visibility
- The importance of reviews and third-party mentions
- Why consistent business information across the web matters
- How structured data and SEO can help
- Practical steps to improve your visibility in AI Search

There’s no way to guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend a particular business, but there are plenty of things you can do to make your business easier for AI systems to find, understand and trust.

How to Optimise Your Website for AI Search

AI-powered search is changing how people discover businesses online.

Instead of simply showing a list of websites, tools like Google AI Overview and ChatGPT are now providing direct answers to users questions. That means businesses need to think differently about how their websites are built and how their content is written.

Our latest blog explains the practical steps you can take to prepare your website for this new era of search, including:

- Creating content that answers real customer questions
- Building trust and authority online
- Improving website speed and user experience
- Using structured data to help AI understand your content
- Why traditional SEO is still important, but no longer enough on its own

The businesses that adapt today will be in the best position to benefit from AI-powered search tomorrow.
