I have a store, a website, and a Facebook fan page. When I search for keywords on Google, some stores are suggested on Google AI. How can I get suggested? Has anyone done this before? Please share your methods to help me improve my business’s ranking. Thank you very much.
ChatGPT does not directly recommend businesses like Google Ads.
However, businesses can improve their chances of being mentioned by AI tools by building strong online visibility.
Some important steps include:
• Having a well-optimized website with clear service pages
• Creating helpful content (blogs, FAQs, guides)
• Maintaining accurate Google Business Profile information
• Getting mentioned on trusted platforms like forums, blogs, and directories
• Earning genuine reviews and citations
AI systems usually rely on publicly available, high-quality information rather than paid promotion.
Focusing on SEO, content quality, and brand credibility is the long-term approach.
One thing you can try to get AI to understand and intepret your site better is to use an llms.txt file.
This is kind of like the conventinal robots.txt file that you may already use, except instead of being for ordinary web crawlers, it gives guidance for LLMs (Large Language Models) visiting your site.
But as always has been, the quality and usefulness of your content is a huge factor in any search bot choosing it as a source for search results.
For more info on this search around for llms.txt, or even ask an LLM about it.

There is not a direct way to submit your business to ChatGPT and Google AI. These AI systems use publicly available information and strong online signal to determine which businesses to mention. Typically, businesses that receive recognition have clear branding, consistent information across the web, positive reviews, and content that demonstrates genuine expertise. To get your business recommended on ChatGPT, you should focus on building authority in your niche, earning genuine mentions, and keeping your business data accurate and consistent. AI visibility is usually a byproduct of strong overall online presence, not a separate tactic.
From what I’ve seen, there isn’t a direct way to “apply” to be recommended by Google AI or ChatGPT. They usually pull information from sources that already look trusted and well-structured online.
What helps in practice:
-
Keep your Google Business Profile fully complete and updated (photos, services, hours, posts, reviews)
-
Get real customer reviews regularly and reply to them
-
Make sure your website clearly explains what you do, where you serve, and answers common customer questions
-
Be listed consistently in local directories (same name, address, phone everywhere)
-
Publish helpful content that solves real customer problems (guides, FAQs, tips)
In my experience, businesses that are easy to understand, trusted by customers, and consistently mentioned online get picked up more often by AI summaries.
There’s no shortcut — it’s mostly about strong local SEO and clear, trustworthy information across the web.
The system of ChatGPT does not allow users to request business recommendations through direct means. The system retrieves its information from reliable online sources that already exist on the internet. Your success with Google AI search systems increases when you achieve three specific goals for your website optimization which include building crawlable fast structured elements through SEO. Your website needs high-quality content that answers user questions to establish its value to visitors.Your website needs to establish credibility through backlinks and reviews and mentions that appear on trustworthy sites. When Google AI identifies your website as an established authority your site gains exposure through AI-driven search results and platforms such as ChatGPT. The process of obtaining business recognition through ChatGPT cannot be done through submission because online authority must be established first.
K, now someone else feed the same answer through another AI so we get a slightly different paragraph of text that says the exact same thing.
