Buyers now build a shortlist before they search
People still use search engines, but the order has changed. Many now ask an AI tool for a shortlist, then search for the two or three names it gives them. By the time a branded search shows up in your analytics, the choice was narrowed somewhere you can’t see.
That makes being left out costly and hard to spot. No report shows the enquiries you missed because a competitor was named and you weren’t.
Wrong information is the more common problem, and it can do more harm. AI tools often describe businesses with services they dropped, offices they left or positioning years out of date. That costs deals, often without anyone inside the business noticing.
Before your analytics
How the shortlist forms before anyone searches for you
By the time a branded search appears in your reports, the choice has already been narrowed. This part happens where your analytics tools can’t see.
- 1Providers in your category — Every business that could have been named when someone asked an AI tool for a few options.
- 2The ones it can describe — A business described three different ways across the web is harder to place than one described the same way everywhere.Businesses with no consistent description
- 3The ones described correctly — Common problems include dropped services, old offices and positioning that is years out of date.Descriptions wrong enough to lose the deal
- 4The two or three it names — This is the shortlist. None of it appears in your reports, which is why being left out costs so much.Everyone else, without anyone noticing
- 5The names people then search for — This is where your analytics starts. It records the branded search and none of the narrowing before it.
What people ask
The ChatGPT prompts that decide a shortlist
These are the kinds of question that lead to a recommendation. We build a fixed set for your category, run it across AI tools and record what comes back, using the same set every quarter so you can measure change.
Category shortlisting
The most important group for sales. You are either named or you are not.
- who are the best [service] companies in [city]
- recommend a [service] provider for a small business
- what agencies specialise in [niche]
- top rated [service] near [area]
Company-specific questions
Where wrong details show up. Usually the quickest thing to fix.
- what does [company] do
- is [company] any good
- where is [company] based
- how much does [company] charge
Comparison prompts
More and more common. They show how AI tools position you against others.
- compare [company] and [competitor]
- what is the difference between [company] and [competitor]
- alternatives to [competitor]
Buying-process questions
Where useful content on your site can get you mentioned.
- what should i look for when hiring a [service]
- how much should [service] cost
- what questions should i ask a [service] provider
- red flags when choosing a [service]
These are example searches from keyword research and public search data. Before we suggest anything, we check how often people search for them in your area.
Our approach
What we do and what we won’t do
What we do
- Set a starting point with a fixed set of prompts, and re-run it every quarter
- Fix wrong information at the sources it comes from
- Make sure your business is described the same way everywhere
- Make a clear, written decision on which AI crawlers to allow
- Publish content that answers the questions people ask before shortlisting
- Earn mentions from sites that carry weight
What we won’t do
- Guarantee a recommendation, a mention or a citation
- Claim we can change how AI models are trained
- Use prompt injection or any trick to manipulate an AI tool
- Quote citation figures we can’t source
- Sell this as a replacement for search. It adds to your search work.
Questions
Common questions about ChatGPT visibility
Can you make ChatGPT recommend us?
No, and nobody can. Answers change by user, wording and version, and nobody outside OpenAI controls them.
What we can do is make sure you are described accurately, easy to reach and backed up by other sites: the conditions that make a mention possible.
ChatGPT says something wrong about our business. Can that be fixed?
Often, yes, and it is usually the most valuable fix on offer. Wrong descriptions almost always come from sources that still say the wrong thing: an old profile, a stale directory listing, old press coverage, or your own site listing a service you no longer offer.
Correcting those sources changes the answer over time. It isn’t instant, because new information takes time to spread, but it is worth doing whatever AI tools say.
Is there enough traffic from assistants to justify this?
Not if you count referral visits alone, at least not yet. If you count influence on who makes the shortlist, often yes, though that influence doesn’t show up in your analytics.
Most of this work is groundwork that helps everywhere else too: accurate details, matching descriptions, mentions on other sites and clear content. If it were a separate, costly project with no other benefit, it would be worth waiting.
Should we allow or block GPTBot?
It depends on what your content is worth to you. Blocking GPTBot stops your content being used without credit, but makes it less likely you are mentioned at all.
For most service businesses, being found is worth more. Publishers who sell their content may decide differently. We go through the trade-off for your situation.
