How to Get Recommended by ChatGPT: The Honest Checklist
How to get recommended by ChatGPT
The honest answer first: nobody can guarantee ChatGPT recommends your business. What you can control is whether AI assistants can find, understand and cite you. That part is measurable — and fixable.
Why assistants recommend a business
They answer from what they can verify: a clear business identity, described services, pricing guidance, contact details, service areas and consistent information across your site and directories. If it is not machine-readable, it is not recommendable.
The checklist
Business name, contact and location in plain text on your pages. Services and pricing stated clearly. JSON-LD structured data and a valid llms.txt. A robots.txt that allows AI crawlers. Consistent name, phone and website across Google, Bing and Apple listings.
What a scan reveals
AgentEligible shows which of these signals AI can verify on your site today — detected, not detected or could-not-verify — with the three highest-priority gaps first.
Then fix and prove it
Verify ownership, approve fixes, publish to WordPress or use the paste-yourself guide, and rescan. Recommendations follow evidence; the scan measures the evidence.
