To be recommended by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, make your brand description consistent everywhere, publish answer-first pages with real FAQs and matching schema, let AI crawlers read your site, earn credible third-party mentions, and test target questions monthly. No one can guarantee a recommendation.
Make your entity clear
AI systems build a picture of your company from many sources. Use one accurate description of who you are, what you do and where, on your site, profiles and directories. Disambiguate from similarly named companies.
The practical steps behind being described and recommended correctly by AI assistants.
Publish answer-first content
Lead each page with a direct answer to the question a buyer would ask, then support it with detail, a table where useful, and honest FAQs. This is the format answer engines can quote.
Add structured data and crawler access
Use schema that matches visible content, keep robots rules open to AI crawlers you want, and consider an llms.txt file that points assistants to your key pages.
Earn credible mentions
Assistants lean on sources they trust. Directory profiles, reviews, case studies and mentions in reputable publications help them corroborate what your own site says.
Test and track
Pick 10 to 15 questions your buyers ask. Run them on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews each month, record whether you are cited and described correctly, and fix the gaps.
Common questions
