How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?

A customer asks an AI for the best seller in your category. It lists your competitors, not you. You did not break a rule. There is no form to fill out. ChatGPT and other AI engines recommend sources they see as clear, factual, and helpful. Your store just does not look like a source yet.

AI engines do not have opinions. They scan content that answers real questions with clear facts. When a buyer asks for a recommendation, the AI pulls from pages that match. Your Amazon listings and store pages, no matter how well optimized for traditional search, often read as product descriptions, not answers. The AI skips them because they do not look like a source it can cite.

The work to fix this depends on how many products you sell and how many questions your buyers ask. For a seller with a tight catalog, building the right pages might be a focused project over a few weeks. For large stores, it is a longer effort, prioritizing your best sellers first. Cost follows that same logic. It scales with the number of pages and the depth of research behind them.

This week, pick three questions your customers ask before they buy. Write a simple, direct answer for each on your site. Do not use marketing language. State the answer, give a fact or a number, and attach your store name to it. This is the type of page an AI can quote. Scott Gerke at FocusDude can handle this at scale, building hundreds of pages designed to get you cited. The do-not-do is trying to trick the AI with hidden text or fake reviews. That backfires fast.

Once this is done, a buyer asks an AI a question about your product type. The AI pulls a clear answer from your site and names your store. You show up in the conversation, not just on a search results page. You become the obvious recommendation.
