How do I get my business mentioned in ChatGPT?

Short answer

You get mentioned in ChatGPT by becoming a well-defined entity that credible third-party sources describe consistently, and by publishing pages that answer the exact questions users ask. ChatGPT names brands it can identify confidently and support with retrievable evidence, so the work is entity clarity, corroboration across independent sources, and crawlable, structured answer content.

What ChatGPT actually needs from you

Two different paths lead to a mention. The base model recalls brands that appeared often and consistently in its training data. ChatGPT Search retrieves live pages and cites them. Both paths reward the same foundation: one canonical description of who you are, the same name and category everywhere, and pages that state answers plainly near the top rather than burying them in narrative.

The practical order of work

Start with your own site: clear entity markup, an About page that defines the business in one sentence, and answer pages for the questions buyers ask. Then extend outward to profiles and publications that describe you the same way. Finally, track the prompts where you want to appear so you can see which changes moved the answer.

What does not work

Keyword stuffing, thin pages spun for every variation of a phrase, and claims that no independent source repeats. Generative engines are corroboration machines. An assertion that appears only on your own site carries very little weight.
