How to get your business cited by ChatGPT

ChatGPT does not rank the web the way Google does. It retrieves a shortlist, mostly from Bing, then decides which of those pages are clear and credible enough to quote.

Why your website is not ranking, and which answer applies to you

There is one question to answer before any other. Are your pages indexed?

SEO vs AEO in 2026: what changes and what stays the same
