🔥How to Rank in ChatGPT 🔥

Today, we’re going to talk about something really exciting and new: how to get your business to show up on ChatGPT! You might be thinking, “ChatGPT? Isn’t that just for writing stuff?” And while it’s super good at writing, it’s becoming a big deal for businesses too. Let’s dig in and learn how to make it work for you.

How to Rank Your Business on ChatGPT: Simple Steps for Big Results!

You know how everyone talks about Google, right? Well, ChatGPT is like a super-smart friend who can answer questions about almost anything. And guess what? People are starting to ask it about businesses! That means if your business can show up when someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, you’re in for a treat!

So, how do we get ChatGPT to love your business and tell everyone about it? It’s a bit like making friends: you need to be helpful, trustworthy, and easy to understand.

Why Is ChatGPT a Big Deal for Your Small Business Ranking?

First off, let’s chat about why this even matters. A lot of people are using ChatGPT. Like, a LOT. Did you know that ChatGPT gets about 4.5 billion visits every single month? That’s a huge number of people looking for information! (Source: The Social Shepherd, 2025). And it’s not just tech gurus; folks from all walks of life are checking it out. Around 43% of young adults in the U.S. (18-29) have already tried ChatGPT. (Source: The Social Shepherd, 2025). That’s a whole bunch of potential customers!

And here’s a little secret most people aren’t talking about: while ChatGPT doesn’t work exactly like Google, it does look at what’s popular and trustworthy on the internet. It especially likes information that’s easy to understand and from places it trusts. This means if you make your online presence strong in certain ways, ChatGPT is much more likely to recommend you.

Think of it this way: if ChatGPT is your friend giving advice, it’s going to share what it believes is the best and most reliable information. Our job is to make sure your business is seen as one of those reliable sources!

The Secret Sauce: Making Your Business Shine for ChatGPT Ranking

Okay, so how do we make your business stand out? It comes down to a few key things, and luckily, they’re things that also help you with Google and other online places too!

1. Make Your Website Super Clear and Helpful

Imagine your website as a really good book. You want it to be easy to read, with clear chapters and headings. ChatGPT likes websites that are well-organized. It looks for important stuff like your address, phone number, hours, and what services you offer. Make sure these are easy to find! Websites with “structured data” – which is like a secret code that helps computers understand your info – are much more likely to be noticed. (Source: TSEG, 2025).

2. Get Your Bing On! (Yes, Bing!)

This might surprise you, but ChatGPT uses Bing’s web search to find information. That’s right, Bing! So, even if you’re a Google person, it’s a good idea to make sure your Bing Places profile is up to date and looks good. A good Bing profile helps your website show up higher in Bing’s results, and ChatGPT often looks at the top 20-30 Bing results for answers. (Source: TSEG, 2025). So, while everyone else is only focused on Google, a little love for Bing can give you a hidden edge with ChatGPT!

3. Be a Star on Review Sites (Like Yelp and BBB)

ChatGPT loves trusted review sites. Think Yelp, Facebook, and the Better Business Bureau. Make sure your business listings on these sites are accurate and updated. And here’s a super important tip: encourage your happy customers to leave reviews on these platforms! ChatGPT uses these reviews to see how good your business really is. For example, a business with a 4.8-star rating and 200+ reviews on Yelp might get more love from ChatGPT than a business with a bunch of hidden testimonials on their own website. (Source: TSEG, 2025). This is where our Reputation Management services come in super handy!

4. Get Talked About by Local Pals!

If local blogs, news sites, or “Best Of” lists mention your business, that’s like a gold star for ChatGPT. It trusts these local sources. So, try to get your business featured in local media or community roundups. The more credible places talk about you, the better!

5. Keep Your Info Consistent Everywhere

This is a big one! Make sure your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) are exactly the same on your website, all your social media pages, and all those online directories. If ChatGPT sees different information, it can get confused, and your ranking might suffer. Consistency is key!

6. Create Super Helpful and Unique Content (Especially Video!)

ChatGPT wants to give people the best answers. So, if your website has helpful articles, blog posts, or, even better, videos that answer common questions or solve problems for your customers, ChatGPT will see that as valuable.

And here’s a stat that few people are talking about: people remember an astounding 95% of a video message, compared to just 10% of text. (Source: Dr. John Medina, “Brain Rules”). This is HUGE! When you use videos, not only are you giving your customers an easier way to learn, but you’re also creating content that ChatGPT can understand and share. My team and I at Business Solutions Marketing Group just launched a new AI Video Marketing Program, and we’re seeing amazing results. We’re consistently getting our clients’ videos to Page ONE, Position ONE on Google! This means those videos are front and center, getting seen by tons of potential customers. It’s all about making sure Google (and by extension, ChatGPT) understands and values your video content.

7. Handle Those Pesky Bad Reviews (It Matters More Than You Think!)

No business likes a bad review. But did you know that a drop from a 5-star to a 3-star rating can make a business lose over half of its potential customers? (Source: Harvard Business Review). And roughly 1 in 5 businesses have even dealt with “review extortion,” where someone asks for money to take down a bad review. (Source: Kalkine Media, 2025). This is where our Review Removal service steps in. We help businesses fight back against unfair or fake reviews that violate platform rules. Getting rid of those bad ones can seriously help your overall online reputation, which ChatGPT will notice!

The Power of Being Trustworthy and Specific

ChatGPT is built to be helpful. It wants to give people answers that are reliable and specific to what they’re looking for. So, instead of just saying “we sell great coffee,” your content should be like, “We sell delicious, ethically sourced coffee beans, roasted right here in Camp Hill, perfect for your morning brew.” The more specific and trustworthy you are, the more likely ChatGPT is to point people to you.

Remember, ChatGPT isn’t just pulling random stuff off the internet. It’s trying to be a smart assistant. If your business acts like a trustworthy expert in your field, ChatGPT will treat you like one!

Unique Stats That Show the AI Shift for Businesses

Here are a few more fascinating tidbits that show just how much AI, like ChatGPT, is changing the game for businesses:

Nearly half of all companies (49%) are already using ChatGPT, and a whopping 93% of those plan to use it even more! (Source: The Social Shepherd, 2025). This isn’t a fad; it’s the future.
More than 80% of Fortune 500 companies adopted ChatGPT within its first nine months of being around. (Source: The Social Shepherd, 2025). If big businesses are doing it, small businesses can learn from them!
And get this: AI-generated content makes up about 13% of the top-rated content on Google today. (Source: SEO.com, 2025). That doesn’t mean you should just have AI write everything, but it shows that AI-friendly content is being recognized. It also tells us that Google search results include 19% of AI content as of January 2025. (Source: SEO.com, 2025). This highlights the growing presence and acceptance of AI-generated content in search results, so ensuring your content is optimized for AI tools is increasingly important.
70% of companies say ChatGPT helps them make content faster. (Source: SEO.com, 2025). Faster content means more opportunities to get noticed!
Did you know that 65% of businesses have seen better SEO results because they used AI? (Source: SeoProfy, 2025). This means AI tools are really helping businesses get found online!

These numbers show that AI isn’t just for big tech companies. It’s a tool that’s helping businesses of all sizes get ahead.

Putting It All Together for Your Business!

So, to recap, getting your business to rank on ChatGPT is all about being:

Clear and well-organized on your website.
Visible on Bing (and other reputable sites).
Rocking those online reviews (and getting rid of the bad ones!).
Mentioned by local authorities and media.
Consistent with your business information everywhere online.
